Abstract Purpose: To design controlled release ketorolac tromethamol (KT) matrix tablets for increased drug bioavailability. Methods: Waxes (Compritol® ATO 888, Precirol® ATO 5 and stearic acid - SA) and polymers (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose - HPMC and xanthan gum - XG) were used in the preparation of the matrix tablets at various excipient concentrations for controlled drug delivery. The physical properties of the formulations were determined. Drug release profiles from the tablets were...
