  7. Problem #1 • How does a time-release medicine work? (Time-release medications) • The formulation of timed-release medicines is based on the specific response of polymeric coatings to their chemical environment. The chemical packaging of these medicines determines the precise conditions of effective control and sustained dosage of these drugs. 7

  8. Problems #2 • What material is suitable for making capsule for holding an oral-delivered acid sensitive medicine for treating colon inflammations? 8
