Chapter 9 Part 2 Flashcards

1
Q

what is the difference between OROS and OROS push pull?

A

both are osmotic pumps

OROS was made first. In this design, the osmotic agent added to create a buildup of osmotic pressure exited WITH THE DRUG resulting in a short duration

OROS push pull is the 2nd generation where 1 partition contains only the drug and 1 partition contains only the osmotic agent. water will go in to dissolve the drug but the osmotic agent will not come out

Q

true or false

for an osmotic pump, the size of the tablet does not have an effect on how much drug is released

A

false - it does.

this means a larger surface area, which is one of the factors that controls the drug release for osmotic pumps.

Q

when a patient is picking up a tablet that is an osmotic pump design, what is an important cousneling point?

A

-it’s normal to see the full tablet in feces (only the drug comes out through orifice and tablet itself remains intact)

-DO NOT CHEW - the full daily dose will come out

Q

what can be added to the tablet of an osmotic pump design to increase the osmotic pressure

A

NaCl or dextrose

NaCl preferred bc 0.5mol is needed to have same effect as 1 mol of dextrose

also, MW is smaller so tablet doesn’t have to be as big

Q

micro K uses what extended release technology?

A

microencapsulated drug - diffusion system: Reservoir Devices

20
Q

Diffusion systems: reservoir devices

explain the components.

what determines the rate of release of the drug from the system?

A

a core of drug in a RESERVOIR, surrounded by a polymeric membrane

the nature of the membrane determines the rate of release of the drug from the system

21
Q

give 2 advantages of diffusion systems: reservoir devices

A

zero order release is possible (bc membrane)
the release rate is variable with the type of polymer

22
Q

give 3 DISADVANTAGES of diffusion systems: reservoir devices

A

cost
if system fails - toxicity
bad for high MW compounds bc has to diffuse through membrane

need surgery to remove the system from implants dont worry – not a concern for oral tablet

23
Q

diffusion systems: reservoir devices

flux is what?
what does it depend on?

A

flux represents the release pattern from the device

dependent on the diffusion coefficient

24
Q

true or false

diffusion systems: reservoir devices is a membrane type delivery system and can provide zero order release

A

TRUE

25
Q

True or false

diffusion systems: reservoir devices are fairly easy to make

A

false - difficult

26
Q

Diffusion systems: matrix devices

explain what it consists of

A

drug homogeneously dispersed throughout a polymer MATRIX

27
Q

explain how matrix devices (diffusion system) work

A

the drug in the outside layer of the matrix is exposed to the solution. Water rushes in and swells the granules (inc surface area) and the drug dissolves and diffuses out of the matrix.

this process continues and the interface between the bathing solution and solid drug moves closer and closer to the interior

ghost zone matrix increases in thickness as drug dissolves

28
Q

give 2 advantages of matrix devices over reservoir devices as diffusion systems

A

easier to produce than reservoir

CAN deliver high MW compounds bc it does not have to go through membrane

29
Q

give 2 disadvantages of matrix devices compared to reservoir as a diffusion system

A

CANNOT obtain zero order release

for implanted systems, the removal of remaining matrix is necessary (not conern for oral) use biodegradable polymer as a solution

30
Q

true or false

for matrix devices, the release rate (rate of diffusion) decreases as time goes on and this is why zero order is not possible

A

TRUE

31
Q

give an example of a drug that is part of this:

Dissolution systems: encapsulated and matrix dissolution systems

A

spansule

32
Q

explain how:

dissolution systems: encapsulated and matrix dissolution systems

works

A

there can either be alternate layers of rate controlling drugs OR a group of beads with different coatings (such is the case for Spansule)

in the case of Spansule:
some beads are only the drug in the polymeric matrix and some are the drug in the polymeric matrix PLUS a polymeric membrane.

in the case of alternate layers: varied thicknesses. the more thick the dissolving coat, the slower the release

33
Q

true or false

controlled release drugs can be a good source for compounding just like immediate release

A

FALSE - not a good source

34
Q

what USP chapter describes the appropriate drug release profile for modified release dosage form?

A

USP chapter 724

35
Q

what USP chapter defines the uniformity of dosage units

A

USP 905

36
Q

aspirin delayed release tablets must be labeled as….

A

enteric coated

37
Q

theophylline extended release capsules must have what label

A

for dosing every 12 or 24 hours

38
Q

what year was a guidance document released for in vitro and in vivo correlations? who published it and what is it called?

A

1997
FDA

extended release oral dosage forms: Development, Evaluation, and application of in vitro/in vivo correlations

39
Q

name all of the pH’s that the device that mimics the GI tract contains, and what each pH value represents

A

pH 7.5 - distal ileum
pH 7.2 - like proximal ileum
pH 6.8 - like lower small intestines
pH 4.5 - like upper small intestines
pH 1.2 - like stomach

40
Q

true or false

both immediate release and modified release are required to have a drug release profile

A

flase - for immediate release it’s called a drug DISSOLUTION profile

41
Q

Diffusion System: Reservoir Devices

A

Microencapsulation

Micro-K
K-dur
Effexor XR

42
Q

Diffusion Systems: Matrix Devices

A

Drug embedded in Inert plastic matrix

Granumet
Probanacid

43
Q

Dissolution Systems

A

Encapsulated: Spansule

Matrix: Hydrophilic/slowly eroding matrix

44
Q

explain how dissolution systems work

A

both encapsulated and matrix, and then there’s repeat doses

encapsulated: Drug dissolved in hydrophilic polymer. surrunded by hydrophilic membrane. dissolves

matrix: drug dissolved in hydrophilic polymer. Drug dissolves with the polymer – SLOW EROSION - embedded in hydrophilic matrix type (SlowK oramorph, etc)

end of treatment-all is dissolved - full tab NOT in feces

45
Q

explain how a reservoir device diffusion system CAN give zero order while a matrix device diffusion system cannot

A

membrane is constant thickness

in matrix, ghost zone continually getting thicker and release time continually increases as space from core increases

A
