peer agreement (net): +1[insoluble] tablet matrix Explanation: It rather looks like it from the following link: "Duride is a controlled-release preparation where the active substance is embedded in a porous, insoluble tablet matrix." http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q="insoluble tablet matr... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2012-06-18 16:33:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See also: "Today, most time-release drugs are formulated so that the active ingredient is embedded in a matrix of insoluble substance(s) (various: some acrylics, even chitin; these substances are often patented) such that the dissolving drug must find its way out through the holes in the matrix. Some drugs are enclosed in polymer-based tablets with a laser-drilled hole on one side and a porous membrane on the other side. Stomach acids push through the porous membrane, thereby pushing the drug out through the laser-drilled hole. In time, the entire drug dose releases into the system while the polymer container remains intact, to be excreted later through normal digestion." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_release_technology |
