Abstract : The mucus layer that covers the mucosal epithelial surface and mucin molecules interact with buccal drug delivery methods to lengthen the duration the dosage form spends at the absorption site (Figure 18.1). Drugs that have a local effect or that are best absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) need to stay there for a longer period of time. In order to increase medication plasma concentrations and therapeutic action, buccal dosage forms are desirable.
