Buccal delivery

Developing methods to improve loca drug delivery to the oral cavity¶

• Another new research activity has been an investigation into how short duration buccal iontophoresis can be used for the local treatment of diseases in the oral cavity.
• Given the specificities and sensitivity of the region, therapy can be complicated and invasive procedures difficult to perform and/or unacceptable to the patient.
• We have developed test systems to better approximate application conditions in vivo and focused on optimizing delivery kinetics and bioavailability for mono- and poly-therapy after short duration iontophoresis.
