Bioadhesive Formulations

Bioadhesive formulations are materials designed to stick to biological tissues, such as skin or mucous membranes, to deliver medication or treatments effectively. They use natural or synthetic substances that can bond to the tissues, allowing for prolonged contact and enhanced absorption of the active ingredients. Commonly found in patches, gels, or films, bioadhesive formulations improve the efficacy of drugs by ensuring they remain in the targeted area longer, reducing the need for frequent applications and minimizing side effects. This technology is beneficial in various fields, including medicine, dentistry, and wound care.
