The second article from the series dealing with the oral cavity, as a suitable application site for a range of drugs, is intended to
describe mucoadhesion phenomenon, which is in scientific literature widely discussed. This process can provide, based on the
creation of adhesive bonds to the mucous layer, prolonged retention of the applied drug, and thereby significantly improve patient
compliance, effectiveness of therapy, drug bioavailability and contribute to the overall treatment improvement. Mucoadhesion
is a complex process, which may be affected by many factors and in particular by selecting a suitable carrier in the formulation
of the adhesive dosage form.
