What are the characteristics of the mixed monolithic-reservoir devices? Correct Answer The drug-polymer matrix is layered by rate-controlling membrane
This device has drug release kinetics intermediate between monolithic and reservoir systems. Here the drug-polymer matrix is layered by a rate controlling membrane. The release is controlled initially by the membrane but as the drug gets depleted the rate is controlled by diffusion of the drug.
