“…For example, acetate cellulose, an insoluble derivative, is frequently utilized to provide a sustained drug release profile [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. In sharp contrast, HPMC, as a water-soluble drug, is a popular drug carrier for ensuring the fast dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Meanwhile, these derivatives can be combined with other synthetic polymers to offer multiple-phase drug controlled-release profiles, such as the typical double-phase release that includes an initial, immediate release for easing patient symptoms and a later, sustained release for the sake of reduced administration time [ 19 ].…”
