They include:
Biological half-life
Compounds with a half-life which is shorter than 8 hours and shorter than 2 hours are good for sustained release formulations. On the other hand, drugs with a short half life yet long duration of action are not suitable for sustained release formulations.
Absorption
The rate of release should be slower than the rate of absorption. In other words, the overall absorption rate of the drug should be consistent with the rate of release of the drug from the dosage form. Drugs which have a poor absorption are not suitable for sustained released formulations.
Metabolism
Metabolism 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 effects
Drugs with a narrow therapeutic window are dangerous candidates as failure of choosing the correct dosage form may lead to accidental overdose.
