Abstract

An improved method of producing a reservoir device having a rate-controlling membrane and zero-order (constant) release of an agent is provided. A core is sprayed with a solution having a polymer and a solvent, the solvent having a first component which is a rapidly evaporating, low-boiling-point first solvent and a slowly evaporating, high-boiling-point second solvent.
