Abstract

Despite phenomenal advances in the inhalable, injectable, transdermal, nasal and other routes of administration, the unavoidable truth is that oral drug delivery remains well ahead of the pack as the preferred delivery route. There are of course many applications and large markets for non-oral products and the technologies that deliver them. However, if it is a viable option, oral drug delivery will be chosen in all but the most exceptional circumstances. Moreover, if the oral route is not immediately viable, pharmaceutical companies will often invest resources in making it viable, rather than plumping for an alternative delivery method.[1,2,3,4] drugs via polymeric degradation (surface or bulk matrix erosion) or cleavage of drug from a polymer chain.
