Question
Name the three examples of osmotic drug delivery systems.
Solution
-
Elementary Osmotic Pump (EOP): This is the most basic type of osmotic drug delivery system. It consists of a drug core surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane with a delivery orifice. When the system is exposed to gastrointestinal fluids, water is drawn into the core, dissolving the drug and forcing it out through the orifice.
-
Push-Pull Osmotic Pump (PPOP): This system is designed to deliver drugs that are poorly soluble in water. It has two layers: the drug layer (which also contains osmogens that draw in water) and the push layer (which expands as it absorbs water, pushing the drug out of the system).
-
Controlled Porosity Osmotic Pump (CPOP): This system has a drug core surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane with numerous small pores. The drug is released as water is drawn into the core, dissolving the drug and pushing it out through the pores. The rate of drug delivery can be controlled by adjusting the size and number of the pores.
