Advantages of MR delivery systems
1. Improved efficacy/safety ratio
a. Reduction of the total dose
b. Less fluctuations in plasma drug levels
c. Improved patient compliance
2. Simulation of nighttime dosing (e.g. Antiasthmatic &
antihypertensive drugs)
3. Reduction of GIT irritation
4. Development of novel drug therapies (e.g. Intracranial
Controlled release implants for drug delivery to brain
tissues)
