title: [Site-specific drug delivery systems II. Buccal delivery systems].
abstract: Buccal route can be used for systemic delivery because the mucosa has a rich blood supply and it is relatively permeable. This route of drug delivery has many advantages, including the bypass of first pass effect and the avoidance of presystemic elimination within the GIT. Buccal delivery systems enable the systemic delivery of peptides and proteins. The present study summarizes their formulation possibilities.
