In Situ Gels for Nasal Delivery: Formulation, Characterization and Applications
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 310, Issue 6, June 2025.Drug delivery through the nasal route offers many advantages, but is hampered by a number of challenges, such as the short drug retention time caused by mucociliary clearance. In situ forming gels, which undergo a sol‐to‐gel transition with specific triggers at the site of action, present real opportunities in this field.
