Swelling agents and devices in oral drug delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Swelling agents are hydrophilic crosslinked polymers, which swell from 10 to 1,000 times their own weight when placed in an aqueous medium. Depending on their swelling properties, these materials have been exploited in developing three different classes of materials in pharmaceutical industries, i.e. swellable matrices, superdisintegrants and swelling devices. Since their development, these pharmaceutical excipients have found significant applications in drug delivery area. This review examines the properties of swelling agents and devices with the focus on drug delivery applications.

Background and purpose: Buccal delivery of drug provides an attractive alternative to the oral route of drug administration and a convenient route of administration for both systemic and local drug delivery. Absorption of therapeutic agents from the oral cavity provides a direct entry for such agents into the systemic circulation, thereby avoiding first-pass metabolism and gastrointestinal d...

Background and purpose: The gastroretentive drug delivery systems can be retained in the stomach due to low bulk density. This assist in improving the oral sustained delivery of drugs that have an absorption window in a particular region of the gastrointestinal tract. These systems release the drug content before reaching the absorption site and provide optimal bioavailability. Several approach...
