The present invention relates to a formulation for implantation having a
novel constitution, which accomplishes controlled releases of active
ingredients. The formulation comprises one of combinations (a), (b) and
(c), as well as a carrier comprising a hydrophobic polymer, wherein the
particle combination is dispersed into the carrier: (a) particles
comprising an active ingredient, particles comprising a carbonate, and
particles comprising a substance which is reacted with the carbonate in
an aqueous solution to generate carbon dioxide (substance such as an
acid); (b) particles comprising an active ingredient and a carbonate, and
particles comprising a substance such as an acid; and (c) particles
comprising a carbonate, and particles comprising an active ingredient and
a substance such as an acid.
