they have made the tablet so that it will dissolve slowly releasing the medication slowly over time. This means you do not receive a high dose at one time that your body eliminates quickly. This lets you take your medicine once or twice a day instead of up to eight times a day. much more convenient.

The rate at which a drug is released from a resinate is dependent on many factors. In many cases the rate is sufficiently slow that the resulting effect is an extended or sustained release over many hours. Further modification can be achieved by the use of coatings that restrict the release, or control the site of release.Examples of drugs where this technique is currently used include dextromethorphan (coated), diclofenac, and nicotine.
