Mucosal drug delivery is the system in which the formulation interact with the mucus layer and increase the residence time of the dosage form at the site of the absorption. It is mainly developed to control or sustain the drug release at site of administration. It provides many advantages over oral, topical and parenteral drug delivery systems. Mucosal drug delivery systems prolong residence time of dosage form, enhance bioavailability of drug, avoid hepatic first pass metabolism by liver, avoid degradation of drug by GIT enzymes and achieves site specific drug delivery.
