Innovative drug delivery systems in cardiovascular medicine: nifedipine-GITS and clonidine-TTS

W H Frishman et al. Cardiol Clin. 1987 Nov.

Abstract

Innovative drug delivery systems have been developed for nifedipine and clonidine that prolong the pharmacologic activity of the medications, allowing once daily dosing. The nifedipine-GITS (gastrointestinal therapeutic system) tablet formulation and the clonidine-TTS (transcutaneous delivery system) patch may also reduce side effects in patients while preserving the therapeutic efficacy of the origin drug formulations (nifedipie capsule, clonidine tablet).
