Abstract: Extended-release nefazodone compositions containing nefazodone hydrochloride, ionic and non-ionic gelling polymers, an insoluble hydrophilic agent, and optional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients demonstrate pH-modulated release of nefazodone. These compositions are formulated into unit dosage forms for improved oral administration. The improvements comprise an extended drug release profile providing comparative levels of nefazodone with respect to immediate release dosage forms and, additionally, demonstrating the lack of a food effect.
