Abstract

Osmotically controlled drug delivery systems have a major role in the drug delivery technology. In that the oral controlled porosity osmotic pump tablets have very effective impact. The drug delivery though this type of formulation is independent of the physiological parameters of the body and also the rate drug release can be made in controlled manner. The formulation techniques are simple and reliable. The present study focuses on the importance, past and present status and formulation challenges of this type of drug delivery system.
