Why starch is complex?

Starch is considered complex because it is made up of long chains of simple sugar molecules, such as glucose. These chains can be branched or linear, leading to a variety of structures. The complexity of starch makes it a slower-digesting carbohydrate compared to simple sugars, providing a more sustained release of energy.

What does sustained release mean from the absorption point of view of pills?

Sustained release means that the pill is steadily released into the bloodstream instead of releasing all at once. This is beneficial in that the pill's effects will last longer.


Can you crush immediate release tablets?

Yes, you can. Immediate release pills consist of just the active ingredient and any buffers, spread out evenly through the pill, so crushing makes no difference to the pills contents. You cannot crush pills labeled extended release, sustained release, or enteric coated pills because they are formulated in a specific manner and crushing ruins the slow release mechanism.


Is it safe to split Wellbutrin SR pills?

Wellbutrin SR (sustained release) pills should not be split, as they are designed to release the medication slowly over time. Splitting the pills can lead to a rapid release of the drug, increasing the risk of side effects and potentially reducing the medication's effectiveness. Always consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before altering how you take any medication.

What is the difference between sustained release and controlled release drug delivery system?

Time Release Technology also known as Sustained-release (SR), extended-release(ER, XR, or XL), time-release or timed-release, controlled-release (CR), or continuous-release (CR or Contin) pills are tablets or capsules formulated to dissolve slowly and release a drug over time. The advantages of sustained-release tablets or capsules are that they can often be taken less frequently than instant-release formulations of the same drug, and that they keep steadier levels of the drug in the bloodstream. The first Sustained release tablets were made by Howard Press, in Hoboken, NJ in the early 50's and the first tablets relased under his process patent were called "Nitroglyn" and made under license by Key Corp., in Florida. Today most are formulated so that the active ingredient is embedded in a matrix of insoluble substance (various: some acrylics, even chitin, these are often patented) so that the dissolving drug has to find its way out through the holes in the matrix. In some SR formulations the matrix physically swells up to form a gel, so that the drug has first to dissolve in matrix, then exit through the outer surface.There are certain considerations for the formation of sustained release formulation:If the active compound has a long half-life (over 6 hours), it is sustained on its own.If the pharmacological activity of the active compound is not related to its blood levels, time releasing then has no purpose.If the absorption of the active compound involves an active transport, the development of a time-release product may be problematic.Finally, if the active compound has a short half-life, it would require a large amount to maintain a prolonged effective dose. In this case, a broad therapeutic window is necessary to avoid toxicity; otherwise, the risk is unwarranted and another mode of administration would be recommended.The difference between controlled release and sustained release is that controlled release is a perfectly zero order release; that is, the drug releases over time irrespective of concentration. Sustained release implies slow release of the drug over a time period. It may or may not be controlled release.
