        abstract = {In the past few years, novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) play main role in the food and pharmaceutical industries. NDDS is a broad term that encompasses many dosage forms, one of which is osmotic pumps. Osmotic pumps are considered to be the most reliable source of controlled drug delivery, both in humans and in animals. These pumps are osmotically controlled and release active agents through osmotic pressure. The release of drug from ODDS follows zero order kinetics. This form of dosage pattern can lead to plasma concentration fluctuation. Osmotic systems are the most effective strategy-based drug delivery control system. To a large extent, drug release from such a system is independent of gastric fluids. The reason is the low cost of development and shorter time required to launch the NDDS compared to the new chemical molecule delevopment. they work on the principle of osmotic pressure for controlling the delivery of the drug. Based on such unique properties and advantages, osmotic pumps have their mark on the pharmaceutical industry. This review summarizes the available osmotic devices for implementation and osmotic tablets for oral administration.  It summarizes how to administer drugs like nifedipine, glipizide, indomethacin etc through the osmotic pumps.},
