We examined the effect of talc as an vehicle on release profile of time-controlled release granule (TCRG). In this report, TCRG was prepared by coating a water insoluble polymer to the pre-coated granule which consists of a powder blend containing active ingredient, swelling agent and talc. The lag time of metominostrobin release from TCRG was prolonged with increase of talc, a hydrophobic vehicle. We discussed the mechanism in this phenomenon.
