Unfortunately, Abbott use to make one of the most sophisticated extended release system around with Desoxyn, until 2000, when they claimed they had manfacturing issues and only continued with the immediate release version. Desoxyn GRADUMET(R) released two differently-timed parts at once, and it lasted 12 hours.
