What are the factors influencing oral sustained- release dosage form design?

Factors influencing oral sustained-release dosage form design include drug properties (such as solubility, stability, and half-life), desired release profile, site of absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, manufacturing feasibility, patient compliance, and regulatory requirements. Additionally, considerations such as cost-effectiveness, formulation complexity, and technology advancement may also impact the design of sustained-release dosage forms.
