The core also includes one or more primary hydrocolloid gelling agents which is a hydropropylmethyl cellulose having a viscosity of within the range of from about 1,000 to about 6,000 centipoises in 2% solution at 20.degree. C., and a methoxyl content of 28-30%, optionally a secondary hydrocarbon gelling agent, such as hydroxypropyl cellulose and/or methyl cellulose, one or more non-swellable binders and/or wax binders (where the medicament and/or hydrocolloid gelling agents are non-compressible), one or more inert fillers or excipients, one or more lubricants, and optionally one or more anti-adherents such as silicon dioxide and water.
