Quick/slow drug delivery system involves the use of compressed core, consisting of sustained release tablet, which is coated by compression over the whole surface with fast dispersible formulation. Propranolol hydrochloride, a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker has widely used in the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris with frequent administration. Aim of present study was to develop press-coated tablet system to achieve quick/slow release of the drug are the main purposes of biphasic drug delivery system to avoid frequent administration with increasing patient compliance and therapeutic efficacy. In this study immediate layer which was prepared using croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone and sodium starch glycol ate which was compressed on core tablet prepared by using HPMC and Ethyl cellulose. Results showed that the immediate layer dissolved within four minutes and core tablet releases drug for 12 hrs in controlled manner with zero order release kinetics.
