They provide a consistent, controlledrelease of antibiotics over 14 days. Furthermore, the easily removable, non-degradable hydrogel facilitates post-treatment clearance, distinguishing this system from more invasive or less controlled alternatives. - Controlled antibiotic release system.
Controlledrelease of ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone from a single ototopical administration of antibiotic-loaded polymer microspheres and thermoresponsive gel. Modification of the polymer microparticle could regulate the timeframe over which a therapeutic agent is released. The microparticle can be tailored to control slow release of the therapeutic agent.
