BIODEGRADABLE IMPLANTS WITH CONTROLLED BULK DENSITY

摘要

Disclosed solid water permeable implants that include a water permeable polymer and an osmotically active drug formulation that comprises a drug; wherein the solid water permeable implant has a ratio R of bulk density of the solid water permeable implant to osmotic pressure of the drug formulation wherein R is greater than about 0.244 grams/milliliter-atm. Also disclosed are methods of making and using such solid water permeable implants.
