Current Trends: Ion Exchange Resinates in Controlled Drug Delivery

Abstract

Ion exchange resins(IER) recently used in the controlled release drug delivery due to its properties, more efficient, accurate drug loading, control release and better stability. IER are the attractive carriers for the controlled drug delivery systems which suitable for drug-delivery technologies, including oral controlled release, reduction of toxicity, site specific, fast dissolving, ontophoretically assisted transdermal, nasal, ophthalmic, and taste masked systems. The present review is to focus, current technological developments like the factors affecting the nature and strength of the binding/loading of drug-sized model compounds into the ion-exchange resins. Also the practicability of ion exchange resins for delivery of drugs loading and IER applications and future potential.
