Sustained release drug delivery systems aim to deliver drugs at a rate dictated by the body's needs over an extended period of time. Conventional dosage forms have drawbacks like needing frequent administration, uncontrolled drug level fluctuations, and difficulty achieving steady drug levels. Sustained release systems address these issues by reducing dosing frequency, maintaining more uniform drug concentrations, and improving patient compliance and convenience. Some drugs that are formulated as sustained release include alprazolam, bupropion, and metformin. While sustained release offers benefits, it also has potential disadvantages such as decreased bioavailability and issues with dose dumping or retrieval in emergencies.

SUSTAINED RELEASE
DOSAGE FORM
SUBMITTED BY :- RIPU SUDAN
An ideal drug delivery system should aid in the optimization of drug therapy by delivering an appropriate amount to the intended site and at a desired rate.
Hence, the DDS should deliver the drug at a rate
dictated by the needs of the body over the period of treatment. An oral drug delivery system providing a uniform drug delivery can only partly satisfy therapeutic and biopharmaceutical needs, as it doesn’t take in to account the site specific absorption rates within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).
ORAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
1. A drug with short biological half life which needs a close succession administration is required, so it may increase the missing of dosage form leads to Poor patient compliance.
2. The uncontrollable fluctuation of drug level may leads to
either below effective range or over the effective range.
3. Plasma concentration verses time profile of dosage form
and it’s difficult to achieve the steady state active drug level.
4. The rise and fall of drug levels it may give to
accumulation of adverse effects especially for a drug having less therapeutic index.
Drawbacks associated with
conventional dosage forms: The main destination of any drug delivery system is to furnish a contributing to quantity of a drug to a suitable region in the body and that the required drug concentration can be attained promptly and then being maintained.
The drug delivery system should distribute a drug at a rate
dictated by the require of the body for particular length of time. Regarding this existing points there are two important aspects to delivery system, said as, spatial placement and temporal delivery.
Spatial placement connected to targeting a drug to particular
organ, tissues, cells, or even sub cellular area; whereas temporal delivery system deals to controlling the rate of dosage form to the targeting region
Sustained release drug delivery
system: Alprazolam, bupropion, clomipramine, quetiapine, Metformin and etc.
Some drugs work as Sustained
Release 1. Reduction in dosing frequency. 2. Reduced fluctuation in circulating drug levels. 3. Increased patient convenience and compliance. 4. Avoidance of night time dosing. 5. More uniform effect. 6. Maximum utilization of drug. 7. Reduction in GI irritation and other side effects. 8. Reduction in health care cost through improved therapy. 9. Improve bioavailability of some drugs
Some advantages are as follows
1. Decreased systemic availability in comparison to immediate release conventional dosage form. This may be due to Incomplete release Increased first-pass metabolism, increased instability Site specific absorption, pH dependant solubility, etc.
2. Poor in vitro-in vivo correlation.
3. Possibility of dose dumping.
4. Retrival of drug is difficult in case of toxicity, poisoning, or
hypersensitivity reactions.
5. Higher cost of formulation.
