    • Uniformly absorbed from GI tract
    • Administered in relatively small doses
    • Good margin of safety, wide therapeutic index
  9. Therapeutic index
    median toxic dose/median effective dose

    • Provide immediate release of one dose of drug for prompt therapeutic effect followed by gradual and continual release of additional doses to maintain effect over an extended period of time
    • Additional "maintenance" doses are released at a rate correspondent to the amount being metabolized and excreted
    • Dissolve in GI fluids
    • Maintain sufficient GI residence time
  11. Extended-release technolgoy
    • Coated beads, granules or microspheres
    • Multitablet system
    • Microencapsulated drug
    • Drug embedded in slwly eroding or hydrophilic matrix
    • Drug embedded in inert plastic matrix
    • Complex formation
    • Ion-exchange resins
