Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of any drug delivery system?

  • To maximize the commercial value of the healthcare product
  • To deliver a therapeutic amount of drug to the proper site in the body (correct)
  • To reduce the cost of the drug development
  • To enhance the shelf life of the drug

    • What is the current approach to delivering drugs to patients?

  • Targeted delivery to specific organs or tissues
  • Local delivery to the site of action
  • Pulsatile delivery to the body
  • Systemic approach, flooding the body with active compounds (correct)

    • What are the two major aspects of the idealized objective of drug delivery systems?

  • Systemic delivery and local delivery
  • Pulsatile delivery and controlled release
  • Spatial placement and temporal delivery (correct)
  • Targeted delivery and sustained release

    • What is the benefit of spatial placement in drug delivery?
