Event Overview:

Controlled release (CR) formulations offer a host of advantages over immediate-release formats when specificity is needed, including improved therapeutic outcomes, reduced dosing frequency, enhanced safety profiles, and minimized adverse effects. These benefits contribute to better patient compliance and treatment adherence. As a result, CR dosage forms are rapidly gaining prominence as one of the most dynamic delivery systems in the pharmaceutical landscape.


This presentation will delve into the intricacies of CR formulations, shedding light on the latest insights. This presentation will also focus on how CR performance is influenced by key excipient physiochemical properties, specifically HPMC viscosity and its ability to form a swollen layer due to body temperature. Moreover, the presentation will explore how strategic HPMC substitution empowers formulators to create CR delivery systems with distinct performance characteristics. Don’t miss this presentation where experts will redefine CR and demonstrate how to unlock the potential of functional excipients in precision drug delivery!


Key Learning Objectives:

  • Identify key HPMC properties for CR formulations
  • Optimize HPMC properties for enhanced CR performance
  • Navigate the nexus: API solubility and HPMC matrix tablet performance


Who Should Attend:

  • Formulation and process scientists
  • Development scientists
  • Drug product regulatory and quality professionals
  • Process scale-up engineers
