Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems can enhance the bioavailability of drugs by increasing their residence time at the site of absorption. This allows for better absorption and improved therapeutic outcomes. These systems can provide controlled and sustained release of drugs, ensuring a constant and prolonged drug concentration at the site of action. This can reduce the frequency of drug administration and enhance patient compliance. Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems can be designed to target specific sites within the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract or the nasal cavity. This allows for localized drug delivery and minimizes systemic side effects. These advantages make mucoadhesive drug delivery systems a promising approach in the field of drug delivery, offering improved efficacy and patient convenience. This review contains basic general overview of mucoadhesive drug delivery concept.
