Although immediate-release (IR) products are the easiest to manipulate, extended-release (ER) and controlled-release dosage forms tend to have more appeal to abusers because of the large amount of active ingredient per pill that may be released at once if the drug delivery system is manipulated.13 Thus, many pharmaceutical manufacturers focus on developing ADFs of ER products instead of IR products. The ease with which a delivery system can be manipulated and the active ingredient released also are major factors that influence the likeability, or appeal, of the drug for abusers.14

Very interesting. Never thought of it that way.
Thanks Couch. Good article.
