The document discusses different types of rate-controlled drug delivery systems (DDS), focusing on osmotic drug delivery systems and enzyme-activated drug delivery systems. It defines osmosis and osmotic pressure, and describes how osmotic DDS work using a semi-permeable membrane, drug reservoir, and osmotic agent to release drug at a controlled rate. It also outlines the basic components of osmotic DDS and how they are evaluated. Enzyme-activated DDS are described as relying on enzymatic hydrolysis of biopolymers like albumin by specific enzymes to activate drug release. Examples of marketed osmotic DDS products are provided.
