Drugs which have a poor absorption are not suitable for sustained released formulations.MetabolismMetabolism can occur in the intestine. When compared with a bolus dose, sustained release increases the chances of the drugs being metabolised as they are released one by one.Margin of safety and therapeutic effectsDrugs with a narrow therapeutic window are dangerous candidates as failure of choosing the correct dosage form may lead to accidental overdose.
