ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a novel sustained release matrix and oral dosage form comprising a homogeneous matrix formed from a wet granulation containing an effective amount of a medicament and a polymer blend of hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose. The present invention also discloses a novel process for making a sustained release oral dosage form comprising wet granulating a medicament with a polymer blend of hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose to form a homogeneous matrix, wherein the polymer blend is provided in an amount effective to control the release of said medicament, then forming the homogenous matrix into a solid oral dosage form.
