Combination Products
Product Description

A combination product is the combination of a physical part and a drug which can be implanted or worn on the body for long-term treatments. Combination products offer several advantages when compared with drug delivery via oral, injection, and infusion methods: 

Controlled release of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API): the controlled release as opposed to the bolus-type delivery facilitates consistent API concentrations within an optimal therapeutic range 

Targeted delivery of the API: this strength of drug-eluting devices, particularly implanted devices, permits higher therapeutic dosages to be delivered while minimizing adverse side effects 

Improved Patient Compliance: combination products improve patient compliance and most healthcare practitioners agree that within an aging population, compliance becomes less certain and therefore more important 

Prevention of infection: an API added to a device can improve the device function and help to prevent local, as well as systemic infection
