title: New developments in drug delivery systems.
abstract: The rate-controlled drug delivery systems outlined above have been steadily introduced into the biomedical community since the middle of the 1970s. It is the author's belief that many more of the conventional drug delivery systems which we have been using for many decades will be gradually replaced, in coming years, by these high-tech-based rate-controlled drug delivery systems.
