The invention provides a method for preparing sustained release tablets comprising a hydrophilic polymer matrix, which amounts to at least 10% by weight of the composition, consisting of a 5:1-1:5 weight to weight ratio mixture of a VP-VA copolymer and of an acrylic acid homopolymer, cross-linked with polyallyl saccharose. The method of manufacturing of sustained release tablets according to the invention can be accomplished in two ways: either by manufacturing the granulate containing the active ingredient, or by supplementing the matrix granulate containing no active ingredient with the suitable amount of the active ingredient. The latter variant involves the advantage of a possible separation of large-scale manufacturing of pharmacons and that of a generally applicable retardizing system, the composition and, consequently, the retardizing ability of which can optionally be modified in accordance with the properties of the active ingredient(s) to be formulated.
