Mucosal Transfer

BioViscid technology has been utilized to develop an alternate method of systemic drug delivery that offers several advantages over injections and pills, tablets, or capsules. By exposing the highly vascularized lining of the gums, nasal membranes, eyes, ears, vagina, or anus to this bio-adhesive drug delivery technology, products can be designed to deliver drugs directly into the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and degradation associated with first- pass metabolism. This results in rapid onset of action, drug sparing activity, and a more comfortable and convenient delivery route that improves compliance with doctor's orders. Multiple products have been developed from this variation of BioViscid technology.
