Answer»

Right OPTION is (b) The square root of time

For explanation: The drug RELEASE from the matrix system of the monolithic device is rapid INITIALLY and FALLS as the matrix gets depleted. The rate is thus proportional to the square root of time. The polymers EMPLOYED for matrix system may be hydrophilic or lipophilic.
