Clotrimazole‐loaded PLGA microparticles for local drug delivery to the vagina: Shape does matter
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Clotrimazole‐loaded PLGA microparticles for intravaginal delivery. Abstract Background Intravaginal drug administration is the most promising strategy for treating vaginal infections to protect women's health, such as vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). However, conventional vaginal formulations in the clinic face challenges such as drug leakage and low ...
