Abstract
The modern pharmaceutical technology is not conceivable plasticized polymers. The pharmaceutical applications of polymers range from packaging materials or auxiliary substances in conventional dosage forms to membranes or matrices modifying and controlling the drug release characteristics in therapeutic systems.
Recently, a great variety of plasticized polymeric systems have been studied as microparticles, matrices, free membranes, membranes for transdermal systems and in situ forming implants. Not only the polymer itself but thorough choice of other ingredients of the polymer system is necessary for required quality of drug delivery system.
