Oral film "Mucofilm®" - mucoadhesive film

Our Mucofilm® offers intra- or transmucosal delivery. Our mucoadhesive film technology is designed for immediate release, directional or controlled release of your API. A thin film, which harbors your API, is applied to the mucosa of the oral cavity. After application, the film is small, light and cannot be felt by the patient. The Mucofilm® technology can be developed to deliver the API into the mucosa for local treatment, e.g. inflammations. We can also modify the technology to facilitate transmucosal permeation of the API to achieve a systemic delivery treating the whole body. This will prevent the API from the so called first-pass effect which is the mayor reason for a low oral bioavailability. We can design our Mucofilm®  according to clients target profile and controll the disintegration of the film from seconds to hours.
