Handbook of Pharmaceutical Controlled Release Technology

Reviewing the design, fabrication, methodology, administration, and classifications of various drug delivery systems, this bestselling Handbook of Pharmaceutical Controlled Release Technology provides exhaustive coverage on a huge range of systems and devices. It fully examines the cost, comfort, disease control, side effects, and patient compliance involved with the oral, transdermal, parenteral, and implantable delivery of drugs. Among a wealth of topics, it discusses controlled release systems; examines matrices, and membrane controlled reservoir, systems; evaluates polymers as drug delivery carriers; and describes peptide, protein, micro, and nanoparticulate release systems.!Discussing the advantages and limitations of controlled release systems, the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Controlled Release Technology- covers oral, transdermal, parenteral, and implantable delivery of drugs- discusses modification methods to achieve desired release kinetics- highlights constraints of system design for practical clinical application- analyzes diffusion equations and mathematical modeling- considers environmental acceptance and tissue compatibility of biopolymeric systems for biologically active agents- evaluates polymers as drug delivery carriers- describes peptide, protein, micro-, and nanoparticulate release systems- examines the cost, comfort, disease control, side effects, and patient compliance of numerous delivery systems and devices- and more!Donald L. Wise is the author of 'Handbook of Pharmaceutical Controlled Release Technology', published 2000 under ISBN 9780824703691 and ISBN 0824703693.
