This drug delivery system consists of a small, solid structure in elongated form (similar to match stick) which will be made from a mixture of polymers and a drug substance. The resulting product is a solid matrix that is placed subcutaneously or intramuscularly in a simple office procedure. The drug substance is released slowly, at continuous levels, through the process of diffusion. Facility - Extruder of variable sizes - Casting dies of variable sizes Technology At NSRT we have developed Long-term, drug delivery platform which provides continuous, non-fluctuating drug release over a period of three months to a year depending on drug characteristics. Salient Features - Improved efficiency - Reduction in total drug usage when compared with conventional therapy - Reduction in drug level fluctuation in blood - Linear delivery for long periods of time, from a few weeks to many months - Reduction in frequency of drug administration - Reduced side effects - Convenient therapy - Plasma drug levels are continuously maintained in a therapeutically desirable range Administration of drugs having short in vivo half-lives maybe greatly facilitated
