16
Q

What are the mechanisms of controlling release?

A
  • Dissolution of active drug

- Diffusion of dissolved or solubilised species

17
Q

What is the process involved in MR?

A
  • System gets hydrated
  • Water diffuses into the system
  • Dissolution of drug occurs
  • Dissolved drug diffuses out
18
Q

What are the techniques to build a barrier into oral dosage forms?

A
  • Use of coating
  • Embedding drug in wax / plastic matrix
  • Microencapsulation
  • Ion exchange resins
  • Osmotic pumps
19
Q

What are the components of an oral MR system?

A
  • Active drug
  • Release controlling
  • Filler
  • Matrix / membrane modifier
  • Solubilisers
  • pH modifier
  • Lubricant & flow aid
  • Supplementary coating
20
Q

What is a matrix delivery system?

A

The drug is uniformly distributed in a matrix which contains a release controlling agent

21
Q

Describe the process of drug release in a wax matrix

A
  1. Drug is in hydrophobic matrix - stays intact
  2. In aq media, channelling agent dissolves and leaches out - porous matrix is left
  3. Drug dissolves and diffuses out
  4. Outer hydrated matrix remains
22
Q

Describe the process of drug release in a hydrophilic matrix

A
  1. Hydrophilic colloids swell in contact with water, forming a hydrated matrix
  2. The system is made up of drug, hydrophilic colloid, release modifiers and lubricant / glidant
  3. Hydrated matrix controls diffusion of water into matrix and diffusion of drug though hydrates matrix controls rate of release
  4. Outer hydrated matrix erodes
23
Q

Describe drug release from a membrane controlled system

A
  1. Membrane has to be permeable through hydration or solubility in other membrane components
  2. Membrane polymer doesn’t swell on hydration or erode
24
Q

Describe the process of drug release from an osmotically controlled system

A
  1. Drug is in soluble tablet core - solubilises drug in water
  2. Core is coated with a semi permeable membrane which allows water to pass through into the core
  3. Hydrostatic pressure build up forcing drug solution through holes
  4. Rate of release is determined by the rate water can pass through the membrane and how fast the drug solution can pass out
25
Q

What makes water a suitable diffusing species?

A
  • Characterised and understood
  • Release is independent of the drug
  • Zero order release profile
  • Water diffusion modification is straight forward
26
Q

What is micro encapsulation?

A

Coating surface of drug particles with polymer to slow down water penetration and so dissolution
