Controlled Drug Delivery System: Release of drug is for long periods. In this
the rate or speed at which the drug is released is controlled by modification
in formulation. e.g. Nifidipine
Modulated Drug Delivery System: Here the rate of drug release is controlled
and modulated by devices such as nebulizer, MDI (metered dose inhaler),
etc
