Controlled drug delivery systems: Past forward and future back

Controlled drug delivery systems: past forward and future back.

Controlled drug delivery technology has progressed over the last six decades. This progression began in 1952 with the introduction of the first sustained release formulation. The 1st generation of drug delivery (1950-1980) focused on developing oral and transdermal sustained release systems and establishing controlled drug release mechanisms. The 2nd generation (1980-2010) was dedicated to the ...

Transdermal drug delivery: Past, present, future trends

Drug therapy is a process for cure the patient diseases. And in this study several studies can involve such as Photodynamic therapy (PDT), Music therapy, and Chewing gum as drug delivery system. Photodynamic therapy is a relatively new procedure used for the treatment of acne. Music has frequently been used as a therapeutic agent from the ancient times. The concept of Music Therapy is dependent...

LITERATURE ON CONTROLLED RELEASE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS (MICROCAPSULES AND MATRIX TABLETS) Controlled release drug delivery systems

Controlled release drug delivery systems 1 are those dosage formulations designed to release an active ingredient at rates, which differ significantly from their corresponding conventional dosage forms. The controlled release drug delivery systems are aimed at controlling the rate of drug delivery, sustaining the duration of therapeutic activity and/or targeting the delivery of the drug to a ti...

Pulsatile Drug Delivery Systems: An Approach for Controlled Drug Delivery

Pulsatile systems are gaining a lot of interest as they deliver the drug at the right site of action at the right time and in the right amount, thus providing spatial and temporal delivery and increasing patient compliance. These systems are designed according to the circadian rhythm of the body. The principle rationale for the use of pulsatile release is for the drugs where a constant drug rel...
