Principles of Drug Delivery Flashcards
Controlled drug delivery types
-temporal
-spatial
temporal controlled drug delivery
-sustained release (delayed and extended)
-pulsatile release
spatial controlled drug delivery
-systemic
-local
-targeted
Potential advantages of controlled release
-maintain good concentrations
-improve efficiency
-minimize side effects
-less freq admin
-inc convenience and compliance
Disadvantages of controlled release
-high production cost
-leakage of drug mass (dose dumping)
-difficult to stop drug release
-biocompatibility of the delivery systems?
-necessity of surgical operation
Temporal controlled drug delivery is needed for:
-optimizing concentration
-reduce freq of admin
-simulating multiple dosing via combo of immediate-release + pulsatile delivery system
Temporal controlled drug delivery is NOT needed for:
-drugs w long half-life
-drugs w undesirable long-term effects
-drugs that need immediate effect
Drug release control mechanisms
-diffusion-controlled systems
-dissolution-controlled systems
-erosion-controlled systems
-osmotic systems
-swelling systems
Diffusion-controlled systems
-drug DIFFUSION through polymer network is rate-limiting step
types of diffusion-controlled systems
-reservoir systems
-matrix systems
Reservoir systems
-diffusion controlled system
-drug reservoir
-surrounded by release rate controlling membrane
matrix system
-diffusion controlled system
-drug + matrix former
Ocusert
-diffusion control reservoir
-pilocarpine reservoir
-rate controlling membranes
-eyeball medication
Tetracycline periodontal fibers
-diffusion control reservoir
-tetracycline in polymer membrane
-tooth
Norplant
-diffusion control reservoir
-silicone capsules w levonorgesterel
-injection into forearm
