Many controlled release veterinary drug delivery systems (CRVDDS)
are presently in use, and recently there has been a host of new
CRVDDS within veterinary medicine. The challenges of this area of
drug delivery arise from the unique anatomy and physiology of the
target animal, the cost constraints associated with the value of
the animal being treated and the extended periods of time that
delivery must be sustained for (often measured in months).
The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the unique
opportunities and challenges of the field of CRVDDS and to explain
and discuss the basic controlled release principles underlying the
development of CRVDDS. Its aim is to provide an overview of many of
the areas where CRVVDS have application, and to highlight the
opportunities and prospects for controlled release technology in
the veterinary field.
"Controlled Release Veterinary Drug Delivery" comprises chapters
that provide workers in the field (and those interested in this
area) with information on the design, development and assessment of
a variety of CRVDDS. The book contains chapters that describe the
relevant animal physiological and anatomical considerations
alongside descriptions of current and emerging controlled release
delivery systems for a variety of routes for drug delivery, and
present overviews on the physical and chemical assessment of
veterinary controlled release delivery systems.
The veterinary area is abound with opportunities for the
development of controlled release drug delivery technologies. It is
an area of medicine that is open to the acceptance of novel drug
delivery devices, and which readily encompasses the use of novel
routes of administration. It is an area of many unmet needs, most
of which offer opportunities and unique challenges for the
innovative formulation scientist to provide solutions. This book
will provide an insight into the biological, clinical and
pharmaceutical challenges that face the formulation scientist in
this interesting and diverse area of research.
