Abstract

Mucoadhesion is an important consideration in the development of drug delivery systems. The Gastrointestinal Mucoadhesive drug delivery device increases and/or strengthens therapeutic effectiveness by extending the dosage form's residence time at the absorption site and enhancing personal interaction with the intestinal absorption surface. The mucoadhesion approach employing a polymeric drug delivery base includes, among other elements, wetting, adsorption, and interpenetration of polymer chains. Respective variables impact gastrointestinal retention and mucoadhesion.

Keywords: mucoadhesive, theory, mucoadhesive dosage forms.
