Conventional drugs release the active ingredient as soon as they are administered. Drug delivery systems are planned technologies that deliver the active ingredient in a controlled environment, controlling the time, rate, and area of drug release in the body. These systems have been proven to be safe and efficient.

Extended-release drugs are a dosage formulation that reduces the dosage by half. There are specific regulations released by the FDA that extended release drugs need to comply with.

Growing adoption of various drug delivery systems by doctors and patients, safety and effectiveness of extended drug release, and a reduction in medical care expenditure due to extended-release drugs will create a conducive environment for growth in the market.

What are the Trends Influencing Sales of Extended Release Drugs?

Compared to conventional oral drugs, extended-release drugs are well-planned administration of medication. Extended-release drugs control the time, area, and rate of the dosage, thereby increasing safety and efficacy. With the controlled release of the active ingredient, extended-release drugs also help to reduce the frequency of dosage, resulting in easier and better acceptance by patients as well as increased bioavailability.

Growing demand for pediatric and geriatric extended drug release formulations, widespread acceptance of extended drug release systems, and notable changes in the prescription pattern of doctors will drive the market.

Advancing research & development, ongoing clinical trials in the pharmaceutical sector, and a greater focus on the development of new and innovative therapeutics will further bolster the market for extended drug release.

What are the Limitations for Extended Release Drug Manufacturers?

The cost of extended drug release is a major roadblock for manufacturers. A single unit of extended-release drugs costs double or triple the conventional oral dosage. The price of Namenda's extended-release drug is around USD 494 for 7mg. This is expected to limit sales in the market.

Conventional drugs have an almost immediate impact whereas extended-release drugs take a comparatively long time to make an impact as they have a slower course of action.

Side effects such as dose dumping could seriously affect health, which might hamper the growth of the market.

Dose dumping is the quick release of extended-release drugs in the circulatory system and can lead to toxicity. Refusal of extended-release drugs due to bad taste or swallowing difficulties is another factor that may impede demand in the forthcoming years.
