The objective of the present study was to develop Controlled release tablets of Glipizide using different polymers. The tablets were prepared with different ratios of Eudragit RSPO, Sodium alginate and Sodium CMC by direct compression technique. The solubility study of the Glipizide was conducted to select a suitable dissolution media for in vitro drug release studies. FTIR study revealed no considerable changes in IR peak of Glipizide and Hence no interaction between drug and the excipients. In vitro release from the formulation F5 was found to be 99.31 %.
