Abstract :
Administration of drugs via buccal route provides convenient for both systemic and local drug effects. Bio/mucoadhesive biopolymers were utilized in different buccal dosage forms in efforts to achieve systemic circulation of drugs through the buccal mucosa. Development of successful buccal drug delivery systems depends dose/device mucoadhesion on the buccal mucosa is a key factors. Limitations related to the buccal drug delivery systems and its key advantages and challenges is also been discussed in the article.
