Sustained released tablets of diclofenac sodium (DIC) and tizanidine hydrochloride (TIZ) were prepared by using different proportions of cellulose acetate (CA) as the retardant material. Nine formulations of tablets having different proportion of microparticles developed by varied proportions of polymer: drug ratio ‘’i.e.’’; 1:9 -1:3 for DIC and 1:1 – 3:1 for TIZ. Each tablet contained equivalent to 100 mg of DIC and 6mg of TIZ. The prepared microparticles were white, free flowing and spherical in shape (SEM study), with the particle size varying from 78.8±1.94 to 103.33±1.28 µm and 175.92± 9.82 to 194.94±14.28µm for DIC and TIZ, respectively. The first order rate constant K1 of formulations were found to be in the range of K1 = 0.117-0.272 and 0.083- 0.189 %hr-1for DIC and TIZ, respectively. The value of exponent coefficient (n) was found to be in the range of 0.6328-0.9412 and 0.8589-1.1954 for DIC and TIZ respectively indicates anomalous to non anomalous transport type of diffusions among different formulations
