Abstract

A method for the manufacture of oral controlled release dosage units containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose wherein the aqueous granulation is performed in the presence of one or more solutes, which inhibit gel formation during the granulation but allows the formation of a gel when administered orally. Also the new dosage units prepared according to the invention are included.
