Abstract

Osmotic granule, which consisted of water-swellable seed layer, drug layer, and porous membrane layer, has been widely utilized in oral drug delivery system. In this work, we describe the preparation of osmotic granule with nifedipine as model drug and a mixture of cellulose acetate(CA) and Eudragit RL as membrane layer, and then examined the drug release behavior on the variation of the thickness change of membrane layer(CA and Eudragit RL) and release media.
