What is drug matrix?

A matrix tablet is formed when an active drug is homogeneously dispersed (embedded) in an inert material. Matrix materials are often swellable hydrophilic or non-swellable hydrophobic polymers. The material properties affect the rate of drug release through factors including diffusion, permeation, and dissolution.

What are the important factors to control during tending of mooring lines?

Safety of crew during mooring operations

• Use of remote control position for operating winches (where applicable)
• Clear layout on deck prior operations.
• The use of proper personal protective equipment.

Instead, their emotions and behaviors are worsening and can lead to relapse later on. There are certain signs to look for if a person is emotionally relapsing, such as: Mood swings.

What is erodible matrix?

In erodible matrices, polymer erosion from the surface of the matrix determines the drug release, whilst in hydrophilic matrices, formation of the gel layer and its dynamics as a function of time determines the drug release.

What is a drug implant device?

Types of drug delivery devices Implantable drug pumps are used to deliver insulin in the treatment of diabetics and to administer pain medications directly to the spine (intrathecal pumps). These are typically programmable “active” devices which require regular resupply of the medication through an access port.

What is hydrophilic matrix?

Hydrophilic matrix tablets are a type of sustained release dosage form characterized by distributing a drug in a matrix that is usually polymeric. Tolcapone is a drug that inhibits the enzyme catechol-O-methyl transferase.

What is Ocuserts?

Ocuserts are the new drug delivery systems which are designed in such a way that they release the drug at predetermined and predictable rates thus eliminating the frequent administration of the drug.
