Q

What is the advantage of GEMINEX delivery technology?

A

Its ability to develop a combination drug product that has twp unique release profiles

17
Q

What does a SyncroDose tablet consist of?

A

An inner core of drug and a surrounding compression coating containing TIMER based materials

18
Q

What is lag time controlled by for SyncroDose tablet?

A

Variations in the two polysaccharides- xantham gum and locust beam gum

19
Q

How does SyncroDose tablet delivery system work?

A

Controls rate of water ingress into coating and subsequent disintegration of core.

20
Q

What can be modified for SyncroDose tablet to control release rate?

A

Coating layer

21
Q

What happens to the coating of swelling controlled delivery systems after 0.37 hours?

A

Enters the stomach and outer polysaccharide begins to swell

22
Q

What happens to the coating of swelling controlled delivery systems after 1.6 hours?

A

Proceeds along GIT and erosion of tablet coating begins to occur but substantial amounts remain in contact with the core preventing drug release

23
Q

What happens to the coating of swelling controlled delivery systems after 3.42 hours?

A

entire coat has eroded and dispersed

24
Q

What happens to the core of swelling controlled delivery systems after 0.37 hour?

A

Enters stomach and core remains intact

25
Q

What happens to the core of swelling controlled delivery systems after 1.6 hour?

A

Prior to tablet entering small intestine the core retains its integrity

26
Q

What happens to the core of swelling controlled delivery systems after 3.42 hour?

A

Tablet continues to move through intestinal tract, core rapidly disintegrates following exposure due to completion of coat erosion process

27
Q

What are the advantages to Contramid?

A 
High drug loading capacity
Flexible release profiles
Ability to release multiple drugs from a single tablet with different release rates
Safe
Completely biodegradble
28
Q

In osmotically controlled devices what is the drug mixed with?

A

Water-soluble core material

29
Q

In osmotically controlled devices what is the core surrounded by?

A

Water insoluble semi-permeable polymer membrane in which is laser drilled a small orifice.

30
Q

What is formed within an osmotically controlled devices when water diffuses into the core?

A

Concentrated solution

31
Q

How is the drug pushed out through the hole of a osmotically controlled device?

A

Osmotic gradient

32
Q

How is the release rate of a osmotically controlled device tailored?

A

Modify excipients
