Aspects of Oral Mucosal Drug Delivery
DRA symposium
In this symposium several aspects of oral mucosal drug delivery will be discussed. This important administration route is of general interest in drug delivery. Since the symposium covers different aspects of this topic, including new excipients, new delivery devices, and biorelevant analytics, it is of broader interest also for PhD students not actively performing research in the oral or oral mucosal field, but in practically all areas of pharmaceutics.
