DURYSTA has emerged as a groundbreaking solution in the management of glaucoma, offering patients a sustained-release option to lower intraocular pressure. But what makes this innovation possible? At its core lies a sophisticated biopolymer that ensures controlled drug release and biocompatibility. This blog delves into the science behind the biopolymer used in DURYSTA and highlights how Nomisma Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. contributes to this technological marvel as a leading manufacturer of such advanced materials.
Understanding DURYSTA and Its Biopolymer
DURYSTA is an intracameral implant that utilizes Bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog, to effectively reduce intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The implant’s unique ability to deliver the drug over several months is enabled by its biopolymer matrix, which gradually degrades in the body without causing harm.
The biopolymer used in DURYSTA is primarily based on Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). This FDA-approved polymer is widely recognized for its:
- Biodegradability: PLGA breaks down into lactic acid and glycolic acid, both of which are naturally metabolized by the body.
- Controlled Drug Release: The polymer’s composition and molecular weight can be tailored to regulate drug release rates.
- Biocompatibility: It is safe for use in sensitive applications such as ophthalmic treatments.
