Transmucosal Delivery

Transmucosal delivery is a method of administering medication through the mucous membranes, such as the inside of the mouth, nose, or rectum. This route allows the drug to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without passing through the digestive system or liver, which can break down or reduce the medication's effectiveness. It's often used for quick relief or when oral intake isn’t possible. Examples include lozenges, nasal sprays, and sublingual tablets. This delivery method provides a convenient, fast-acting, and generally effective way to deliver drugs directly into the circulation.
