Microstructural implant release kinetics: MerckRecent Research Landscape

Unpredictable gastric emptying and non-linear drug release kinetics lead to poor bioavailability and therapeutic failure. These innovations engineer specific microstructural geometries and buoyancy mechanisms to extend gastric residence time and stabilize release profiles.

What technical problems is Merck addressing in Microstructural implant release kinetics?

Uncontrolled drug release rates

(4)evidences

Inconsistent therapeutic delivery rates from solid implants and gastroretentive systems. Accurate modeling of microstructural degradation ensures stable plasma concentrations and prevents dose dumping.
