Which ocular formulation provides the advantage of prolonged drug delivery and reduced dose frequency?
Answer: D - Ocular inserts provide the advantage of prolonged drug delivery and reduced dose frequency.
Ocular inserts are flat, flexible, solid, or semisolid devices designed with a drug reservoir and a rate-controlling membrane. They enjoy advantages such as increased ocular contact time and improved bioavailability, but they can be challenging to insert and remove and are sometimes felt by the patient.
