The general technologies for fabricating drug delivery systems are briefly discussed in the present review. Furthermore, two types of commonly used polymers, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters for parenteral administration and cellulose-based polymers for oral uses, are presented by means of selected examples of their properties and applications to control drug release.

Key Words: Polyester • polylactide • polycaprolactone • polyglycolide • cellulose derivatives • ethyl cellulose • cellulose acetate phthalate • methyl cellulose • controlled release.
