The pellet has a dissolution rate in vitro, which when measured in a Basket Assembly according to U.S. Pharmacopoeia XXI at 37.degree. C. and 75 r.p.m. is not more than 15% after one hour of measurement. Not more than 50% of the total quinidine is release after a total of 4 hours of measurement, not more than 80% is released after a total of 8 hours of measurement and not less than 90% release is achieved after a total of 24 hours.
