Traditionally, drugs are release in an immediate or extended fashion. However, in recent years, pulsatile drug release systems are increasing developing interest. This framework is designed for chronopharmacotherapy which is based on circadian rhythm. The rationale for the empolyment of pulsatile release is for the drugs where a constant drug release ,i.e., a zero-order release is not desired. Pulsatile drug delivery system (PDDS) is defined as the rapid and transient release of certain amount of molecules within a short time period immediately after a predetermined off-release period, i.e., lag time. PDDS can be classified into time controlled systems wherein the dug release is controlled primarily by the delivery system; stimuli induced PDDS in which release is controlled by the stimuli, like the pH or enzymes present in the intestinal tract or enzymes present in the drug delivery system and externally regulated system where release is programmed by external stimuli like magnetism, ultrasound, electrical effect and irradiation. Therefore, Pulsatile drug delivery is one such system that, by delivering drug at the right time, right place and in right amount, holds good promises of benefit to the patients suffering from chronic problems like arthritis, asthma, peptic ulcer, cardiovascular diseases, and hypercholesterolemia. Current review article focuses on the necessity of pulsatile drug delivery systems, types of the disease in which pulsatile release is required, classification, evaluations, advantages, limitation, and future aspects of pulsatile drug delivery system.
