This study was illustrated in the followings: - Microcapsules of d - alpha tocopherol were prepared from different core:wall ratios 1:1 , 1:2 and 1:3 by solid dispersion method using ethyl cellulose (Ethoel ®) polymer . - The powdered microcapsules with 1:1 core:wall ratio is formulated as tablets with good appearance and hardness. - The drug release was found to be increased as a function of increasing, core:wall ratio, stirring speed and pH – medium. - The profile of cumulative different pH – medium release of the drug gives rise an indication of prolonged release dosage form. “ during 6hrs. of dissolution”
