The poster describes the formulation of sustained release tablets with Metformin HCl (a well-known oral antihyperglycemic) using Compritol® 888 ATO as a sustained release agent. Different granulation techniques were evaluated to elucidate the impact of formulation and process on tablet properties and drug release. The objective was to determine a simple process that enables the production of ‘smaller’ tablets, using less excipients, whilst maintaining therapeutic drug dose and obtaining drug release which passes Pharmacopeial specifications.

The objective of this study was to develop a continuous granulation process for direct production of granules using this technique with glyceryl behenate as a binder, evaluate the properties of the resulting granules and develop controlled release tablets containing tramadol HCl.
