(1).In sustained drug delivery drug substance is coated with resinous (OR) plastic materials where as in Controlled drug delivery the drug is delivered through a semi permeable membrane.
Above figure shows drug release from sustained release delivery system.Here drug substance is coated by a release control polymer (either a natural resin or a synthetic polymer).
(2).Sustained drug delivery tries to achieve zero order kinetics but follows first order kinetics(concentration dependent).Controlled drug delivery follows zero order kinetics.
(3).If we compare the therapeutic range of both drug delivery systems ,controlled drug delivery system has little higher range when compared to sustained formulations.see the following graph
Time
My conclusion :
Finally my conclusion is instead both the terms appear to be similar they differ in their basic concept and activity .So,controlled and sustained drug systems represent separate delivery processes.
