An osmotic pump comprises a first chamber (8) comprising an osmotically active substance (18), a second chamber (15) arranged to be filled with a solvent (17), and a semi-permeable barrier (14) separating the first chamber (8) from the second chamber (15). The semi-permeable barrier (14) is impermeable for the osmotic active substance and permeable for the solvent (17). The osmotic pump further comprises a pressure device (60) in fluid communication with the second chamber (15), wherein the pressure device (60) is arranged for pressurizing the solvent in the second chamber. |
