The purpose of the present investigation was to produce a quick/slow biphasic delivery system for metoclopramide hydrochloride using the superdisintegrant Ac-di-sol for the fast release layer and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100M and Ucarflock 302 to modulate the release of the drug. A dual component tablet made up of a sustained release and an immediate release layer was prepared by direct compression. A 32 full factorial design was applied to systematically optimize the drug release profile of the sustained release layer. The results of the full factorial design indicate that a small amount of HPMC K100M and a large amount of Ucarflock 302 favor sustained release of the metoclopramide hydrochloride vaginal dual component system.
