More Information
Summary:The disclosure provides drug delivery formulations that comprise a porous silicon material and a meltable compound, such as a progestin drug, or a meltable composition. The formulations provide for the controlled release of the progestin drug, or other therapeutic agent, over long time periods. In some embodiments, the meltable composition further comprises a melting point suppression agent, where the melting point suppression agent enables the loading of thermally unstable therapeutic agents into the porous silicon material by melt casting that would not otherwise be possible absent the melting point suppression agent. The disclosure additionally provides methods of making and using the drug delivery formulations.
