Conventional drug delivery system for treating the angina and hypertension are not much effective as the drug do not reach the site of action in appropriate amounts. Thus potent and guarded therapy of this angina and hypertension disorder using specific drug delivery system is a challenging task to the pharmaceutical professionals. Most oftenly used method of regulating the drug release is to include it in a matrix system because of their pliability, hydrophilic polymer matrices are widely used in oral controlled drug delivery to obtain a desirable drug release pattern, methodical, and broad regulatory compliance. Formulation of Nifedipine sustained release matrix tablet was prepared by the polymers blend with to get desirable drug release profile. Evaluation parameters of formulated tablets were hardness, friability, thickness, drug content uniformity weight variation, and the in vitro drug release rate pattern. Formulation prepared with HPMC K100M showed 97% of drug release at 24 hrs and with Eudragit indicates 99% of drug release at 20 hrs release of Nifedipine drug.
