OROS (Osmotic Controlled Release Oral Delivery System)

The Osmotic Controlled Release Oral Delivery System (OROS) is a drug delivery technology designed to release medication steadily over time after it's taken. It uses osmotic pressure, which is the natural movement of water across a membrane. When the pill is swallowed, water enters the system, pushing the drug out at a controlled rate. This results in a consistent level of medication in the body, reducing the need for frequent dosing. OROS is commonly used for medications that require stable blood levels, enhancing effectiveness and improving patient compliance with their treatment.
