There are many possible reasons why a drug may require modified or targeted release. Some of these are related to the characteristics of the product itself, such as its pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic profile and the need to avoid degradation in specific areas of the gastrointestinal tract, or a desire to manage a product’s life cycle in the market. Others arise from clinical considerations like the importance of taking a drug to the precise site in the gut where release will be most effective, or improving patient compliance.
