Also: Transmucosal Routes Drug absorption through a mucosal surface is generally efficient because the stratum corneum epidermidis, the major barrier to absorption across the skin, is absent. Mucosal surfaces are usually rich in blood supply, providing the means for rapid drug transport to the systemic circulation and avoiding, in most cases, degradation by first-pass hepatic metabolism. The amount of drug absorbed depends on the following factors[13,14,73-78]: Drug concentration Vehicle of drug delivery Mucosal contact time Venous drainage of the mucosal tissues Degree of the drug's ionization and the pH of the absorption site Size of the drug molecule Relative lipid solubility...
