Questions and Answers

What is the main reason why conventional drug delivery systems for treating colon disorders are failing?

  • The colon lacks well-defined villi, reducing the absorption surface area.
  • The drugs don't reach the site of action in appropriate concentration. (correct)
  • The colon has a lower absorption capacity than the small intestine.
  • Ingested materials remain in the colon for a much longer time.

What is the advantage of sustained colonic release of drugs?

  • It can be useful in the treatment of nocturnal asthma.
  • It can be useful in the treatment of angina.
  • It can be useful in the treatment of arthritis.
  • All of the above (correct)

What is the main reason why local treatment of colonic pathologies is more effective with the delivery of drugs to the affected area?

  • The colon has a lower absorption capacity than the small intestine.
  • Ingested materials remain in the colon for a much longer time.
  • The drugs can directly target the affected area in the colon. (correct)
  • The colon lacks well-defined villi, reducing the absorption surface area.
