In addition, by using periodically varying magnetic fields, the nanoparticles were heated up to provide, thus, a trigger for drug release.
From there, the rot's pattern of drug release was slowly altered.
The entire process of evaluation until drug release took around an hour to complete.
Attempts to prolong drug release beyond 12 hours were initially stymied by the body's natural elimination of the stomach's contents.
Phosphazene hydrogels have been utilized for controlled drug release and other medical applications.
Not all pills are safe to split, especially capsules and those with specially formulations to control drug release.
Enterics control the rate of drug release and determine where the drug will be released in the digestive tract.
The change in the structure then triggers the drug release.
The hydrophobic nature of the PMO walls allow for better control in drug release.
Also, a drug may cause tissue damage, but with drug delivery, regulated drug release can eliminate the problem.
