Controlled drug release was investigated by using Carboxymethylcellulose as carrier and erythromycin as model drug. Carboxymethylcellulose was chosen because of its biologically inert characteristics. It was crosslinked by ferric salts to obtain biodegradable beads. Controlled release was improved by coating with gelatin/caboxymethylcellulose and by crosslinking with ferric salts/chromium sulfate.
