Separate microparticles for delayed instant release (DIR) and delayed extended-release (DER) were formulated. Through the optimization of several formulation and process parameters, ER microparticles were created as matrix microspheres. Central composite design was used to understand how the factors affected the responses. The optimized ER microspheres and plain drug were separately subjected to enteric coating to obtain DER and DIR portion microparticles, respectively.\u0000Results: With the exception of stirring speed's impact on drug release, every other factor was found to have a significant influence (p<0.05) on every response.
