USPTO Abstract

Hypotonic gelling vehicles are used as solubilizing agents for drugs and as a means to provide sustained drug delivery to a mucosal tissue. Solubilizing drugs at higher concentrations enhances drug penetration into the tissues of the body, while the hypotonic gelling vehicle further improves distribution of the drug over a larger surface area for increased absorption and sustained release for reduced side effects and longer duration of action.
