What are examples of different modified-release dosage forms?
Explore some of the types of modified release and sustained release dosage forms that we can help you address. Have a specific question about a modified release or sustained release dosage form?
Gastro-retention
dosage forms
Includes swellable tablets (monolithic, bilayer, trilayer) that keep the formulation in the stomach for an extended period to maximize the duration of absorption or therapeutic activity
Gastro-resistant
dosage forms
Enteric-coated tablets or capsules that prevent release of the drug in the stomach and/or upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Extended release
dosage forms
Matrix tablets, coated tablets, or multiparticulates that allow for extended or sustained release.
With extended-release dosage forms, we can adjust the in-vivo release profile of the drug, enabling once-daily dosing.
Pulsatile release
dosage forms
Pulsatile release dosage forms are beneficial for drugs where time-dependent dosing is required or those that undergo first-pass metabolism.
Biphasic release
dosage forms
Biphasic release dosage forms can give a rapid therapeutic effect from an immediate-release layer and extended dosing from a sustained-release layer, eliminating the need for repeat dosing.
