MUCOADHESION STUDIES

The use of mucoadhesive drug delivery systems (mucoadhesion; ocular inserts) allows the improvement of the bioavailability of your drug and to prolong its therapeutic action. ThioMatrix is capable of performing mucoadhesion studies via various test systems such as tensile studies or the rotating cylinder method. The gained information shows you:

• the mucoadhesive properties of your delivery system on various mucosal membranes
  
  
• the influence of certain excipients on the mucoadhesive properties of the whole dosage form
  
  
• how long your delivery system will likely adhere on a certain mucosa in vivo
