<P> Sustained - release dosage forms are dosage forms designed to release ( liberate ) a drug at a predetermined rate in order to maintain a constant drug concentration for a specific period of time with minimum side effects . This can be achieved through a variety of formulations , including liposomes and drug - polymer conjugates ( an example being hydrogels ) . Sustained release 's definition is more akin to a `` controlled release '' rather than `` sustained '' . </P>
