Implantable drug delivery systems – Implants and Osmotic pumps: Implants are sterile solid masses intended for implantation into the body by a minor surgical incision or injection through a large-bore needle. They are often placed in convenient yet inconspicuous regions under the skin, especially in the subcutaneous or intramuscular tissue. With limited drug loading capacity, […]
Introduction : In the earlier chapter, Polymers definition, and Polymer classification, we discussed that Polymers are classified according to their origin, biostability, reaction mode of polymerization, and water interaction. We will now review the Properties and advantages of Pharmaceutical Polymers. The polymer is incorporated with the pharmaceutically active ingredient to modify the release kinetics, carrier

Introduction: Despite being the most popular route of administration, the delivery of drugs via the oral route is undoubtedly not as effective as that by novel drug delivery systems. One such system that minimizes the potential of side effects while simultaneously ensuring the targeted delivery of drugs is the “Implantable Drug Delivery System” This route
Introduction : Polymers are widely used for many purposes, ranging from cooking utensils to electronic components manufacturing. These long-chain organic molecules have found a place in almost all sectors, and the pharmaceutical industry is no exception. Let us talk about polymer definition and Polymer classification. Polymer definition- A polymer is a material consisting of macromolecules,
