Abstract
An appropriately designed controlled-release drug delivery system can be a major advance towards solving problems concerning the targeting o f a drug to a specific organ or tissue and controlling the rate of dru g delivery to the target tissue. Hydrophilic matrices are an interesti ng option when developing cut oral controlled-release formulation. The present study focuses on oral controlled-release dosage forms and the application of cellulose ether polymers in hydrophilic matrices.
