BIOADHESIVE DOSAGE FORM OF STEROIDS

摘要

Bioadhesive steroid nanoparticles are used to prepare a rapidly disintegrating solid oral dosage form of steroid. The bioadhesive steroid nanoparticles have a bioadhesive polymer surrounding the steroid nanoparticles and with an average diameter of less than 1000 nm. Hence, the solid oral dosage form, containing the bioadhesive steroid nanoparticles, a disintegrant and an effervescent agent, instantly disintegrates in the oral cavity and adheres on the periodontal pocket and oral mucosa to release steroid rapidly.
