ABSTRACT:
A long acting diltiazem formulation is disclosed that comprises more than 35 percent by weight of a swellable hydrophilic polymer.
Release rate is also controlled by the application of diffusion controlled membrane to the matrix tablet containing swellable hydrophilic polymers. The diffusion rate through the membrane depends upon the composition or ratio of hydrophilic to hydrophobic coating agent.
