-
Solid single-dose preparation consisting of a tablet showing a rate, a place and/or a time of release different from that of a conventional-release tablet. This deliberate modification is achieved by a special formulation design and/or manufacturing method. Modified-release tablets are intended for oral use, and include prolonged-release, delayed-release and pulsatile-release preparations. The generic term \'modified-release tablet\' is used only when the more specific terms \'gastro-resistant tablet\' or \'prolonged-release tablet\' do not apply.
