Intraoral Drug Delivery

Intraoral drug delivery technology provides an excellent route of drug administration for delivery of drugs into systemic circulation as well as locally to buccal mucosa.

Intraoral route provides several advantages such as prompt onset of action and predictable delivery of drugs. It is especially helpful in drugs that either undergo extensive first pass metabolism or are destroyed in the stomach by the content of gastric fluids. However, tissue permeability of the mucosa, size of the drug molecule and solubility of the drug provide challenges to Intraoral route of drug delivery.

Both Buccomax and Vectoral provide platforms to manufacture Intraoral formulations with prompt onset of action. Furthermore, Vectoral also enables manufacture of muco-adhesive sustained release formulations. The Buccomax and Vectoral technology can be beneficially employed to manufacture various dosage forms of drugs such as analgesics/ antipyretics, anti-spasmodics, anti-emetics, tranquilizers etc.
