Controlled delivery system for bioactive substances

摘要

A biologically active composite solid shaped article comprising: (a) an outer layer, and (b) an inner core filling the said outer layer and comprising: at least a biologically active ingredient, and an excipient comprising at least a hydrophilic cellulose polymer and an amphiphilic material in the form of a blend with the said hydrophilic cellulose polymer, the weight ratio of the hydrophilic cellulose polymer to the amphiphilic material being from 0.2:1 to 0.6:1, provides improved sustained release of the biologically active ingredient.
