Controlled Release in Oral Drug Delivery [Hardcover]

Controlled Release in Oral Drug Delivery?provides focus on specific topics, complementing other books in the initial CRS series. Each chapter?sets the context for the inventions described and describe the latitude that the inventions allow. In order to provide some similar look to each chapter, the coverage includes the historical overview, candidate drugs, factors influencing design and development, formulation and manufacturing and delivery system design. This volume?was written along three main sections: the relevant anatomy and physiology, a discussion on candidates for oral drug delivery and the major three groups of controlled release systems: diffusion control (swelling and inert matrices); environmental control (pH sensitive coatings, time control, enzymatic control, pressure control) and finally lipidic systems.

There are many ways in which controlled release optimizes drug performance. This volume includes contributions from academics and R&D technicians alike, which cover every facet of the subject, from physiology of the gastrointestinal tract to polymer science.
