Review on implantable drug delivery system

B. pharmacy

The implantable drug delivery system is a revolutionary medication delivery method. Allows for regulated and sustained drug release. The sterile dosage form is administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly through minor surgery or implantable devices, such as big needles. Implants can be prepared using a variety of techniques, including solvent casting, injection moulding, and 3D printing. Compression Melt Casting Hot-melt extrusion, etc. Conventional drug delivery systems have challenges such as first-pass mechanisms, GI fluid degradation, short-acting effects, drug fluction in plasma, and patient compliance. Implants provide an edge over the majority of conventional difficulties. The medicine is released at a steady pace over a set time period, resulting in no fluctuation. It provides both local and systemic action, reducing drug waste and toxicity to non-targeted organs. Implants and implantable devices help enhance patient compliance by reducing the frequency of doses for chronic illnesses over time. It is commonly used for cancer treatment, contraception, dental therapy, and eye diseases.
