These tablets think for themselves They're just what the doctor ordered: Tablets that release medication into the system at a steady, even rate for a long period of time. One provides the effec­ tiveness of several during the day. This ability is called "controlled release", and is the result of a unique binder, Carbopol 934*. Besides its highly useful property of controlled re­ lease, Carbopol 934 has other valuable assets as a tableting binder. Among them, hardness (tablet surfaces are smooth, resist dusting), stability (preserves drug potency), taste improvement (adds no off-taste, sometimes masks

undesirable taste) and strength. Standard tableting methods are used. Many other products are also greatly improved through the versatility of Carbopol as a thickening, suspending or emulsifying agent. For the complete story, write for new 60-page book, "Carbopol Water-Soluble Resins". B.F.Goodrich Chemical Company, Department FO-4, 3135 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland 15, Ohio. In Canada: Kitchener, Ontario. •The incorporation of Carbopol 934 in drug products is subject to the new drug regulations of the Food and Drug Administration. Informa* tion available on request.
