title: [Production of granules with controlled drug release rate (author's transl)].
abstract: A procedure for microgranulation is described (cf. [7]) which is based on the use of formaldehyde-treated gelatin. The drug (Drotaverin: No-Spa) contained in the matrix is released, dependently of the formaldehyde concentration in the matrix, at a predetermined rate. The release (first-order kinetics) is rapid at low formaldehyde concentrations, and slower at higher formaldehyde concentrations.
