  1. Previously pharmacists dispensed powdered drugs, what is dispensed now?
    Dosage forms
  2. Describe the release of a conventional dosage form:
    • High initial release
    • Exponential decay
    • Results in cyclic drug concentration
  3. What is the advantage of a drug delivery system?
    Creates a desired release profile
  4. What is a drug delivery system?
    An optimized drug product designed to release drugs in a safe efficacious and reliable way
  5. What are the advantages of a drug delivery system?
    • Fewer side effects
    • Controlled rate of delivery
    • Increased efficacy
    • Constant delivery
  6. When were sustained release products first available?
    Late 1940s to early 1950s
  7. When were controlled drug delivery systems introduced?
    Mid to late 1960s
  8. When were therapeutic systems first introduced?
    1970s
  9. What were sustained release products designed to do?
    Release an initial therapeutic level of a drug and maintain that level for a long time
  10. What are controlled drug delivery systems designed to do?
    Retard drug release to obtained sustained drug action
  11. What were Therapeutic systems designed to do?
    Optimize drug therapies by improving the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of drugs
  12. What examples were given in class for Therapeutic systems?
    • Transmucosal or transdermal systems
    • Implants
  13. Transmucosal systems, transdermal systems and Implants are all examples of what type of drug delivery system?
    Therapeutic Systems
  14. What is the equation for flux?
    • J = dM/S.dt = -D( dC/dX)
    • M = amount of material passing through
    • S = surface area
    • t = time
  15. The flux approximately equals what?
    The concentration gradient
  16. What is the permeability coefficient?
    P
  17. What is the equation for the permeability coefficient?
    • P= DK/h
    • D = diffusion coefficient
    • K = Partition coefficient
    • h=thickness of the membrane
  18. What are the units of the Permeability coefficient?
    cm/sec
  19. What are the units for P?
    cm/sec
  20. What is the equation for lag time?
    tL = lag time = h2/6D
  21. What is the lag time?
    The time prior to the steady state of diffusion
  22. What types of Oral drug delivery systems exist?
    • Dissolution-Diffusion controlled
    • Osmotic pressure controlled
  23. What route of administration utilizes Dissolution-diffusion and Osmotic pressure controlled release systems?
