The present invention relates to controlled release systems that may be administered other than intravenously. The controlled release system is directed to active ingredients, entrapped in or otherwise incorporated in or coupled to polymer carriers or polymeric devices, such as micelles, nanoparticles, microspheres and other types of polymer devices for controlled release; the active ingredients are covalently bonded to the polymer carriers or polymeric devices. The controlled release systems may suitably be used to treat diseases. |
