A sustained release tablet containing Glimepiride was formulated by using solid dispersion technique. Solid dispersions of glimepiride were prepared by using Urea and PEG 6000 as carrier in drug: carrier 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 ratios by Fusion method. From these all solid dispersions formulation SDUF3 containing Urea shows better dissolution compared to other solid dispersions. This optimized solid dispersion is formulated into sustained release tablets by direct compression method using hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose and Ethyl cellulose polymers.
