Question

After implantation of a vapour pressure pump, the body has to get heated by exercising so that the volatile liquid vaporizes.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question during an online exam.

I need to ask this question from Biopharmaceuticals in division Biopharmaceuticals of Drug Biotechnology

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

To explain I would say: After implantation, the volatile liquid vaporizes at the body temperature and creates a vapor pressure that compresses and expels the drug through a series of flow regulators at a constant rate. Insulin and morphine have been successfully delivered by such implants. The disc-shaped device consists of two chambers. The infuscate chamber consists if the drug solution which will be separated by a freely movable flexible bellow from the vapor chamber containing vaporizable fluids.
