An Insight to Modified Release Dosage Form with Osmotic Drug Delivery System

Osmotic drug delivery is a technique for managing the controlled, prolonged release of medications. A semi-permeable membrane is used to separate two compartments, one of which contains the medicine and the other of which contains an osmotic agent, in the system, which is based on the osmosis principle. The medicine is pushed through the membrane at a controlled rate thanks to the pressure differential created when the osmotic agent sucks water from the body into the drug compartment. The system can be set up to disperse medications over long periods of time, from a few hours to several months. Osmotic drug delivery is superior to conventional drug delivery techniques in a number of ways, including patient compliance, adverse effects, and efficacy
