This is a review of the methods for characterizing bioadhesive materials and for improving vehicle targeting and uptake - offering possibilities for reformulating existing compounds to create new pharmaceuticals at lower development costs. It evaluates the unique carrier characteristics of bioadhesive polymers and their power to enhance localization of delivered agents, local bioavailability, and drug absorption and transport.
