Description
There is a growing interest in mimicking the temporal modulation of therapeutic agents such as endogenous hormones. An accurate control of drug input has proved to be a valuable new concept in modern clinical pharmacology. Important examples include the pulsatile administration of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH) for the induction of fertility of corticostroids in the treatment of adrenal insufficiency, and insulin pumps which mimic fasting alternating with meal stimulated insulin secretion.
Persons interested:
This highly topical book is intended for all those who are involved in the development of drug administration with pulsatile or temporal control of drug delivery.
Regulatory authorities, members of universities and education departments as well as scientists from industry will be confronted with such new concepts. This book, written by experts of international repute, should be present in all libraries dealing with new pharmaceutical concepts.
