| Description | Buccal flexible films in the form of solid, thin, mucoadhesive patches are dressings which enable separation of the lesion from the environment of the oral cavity. Moreover, a suitable medicinal product in the form of commonly used oral gels, pastes or powders could be applied under the film. This cover can limit elution of applied preparation by saliva and prolong its effect from several minutes to several hours. Extended contact period between active substance and mucosal defect can significantly improve the therapy effectiveness and can increase patient compliance compared to recently used, several times a day applied conventional dosage forms such as oral semi-solid products (gels, pastes), solutions for irrigation, or pastilles. |
