BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS USED IN OPHTHALMIC IN SITU GEL SYSTEM: A REVIEW Authors: Arora K , SINGH L, SINGH S, VERMA V AND KUMAR M
ABSTRACT
Ophthalmic drug delivery system is one of the most challenging aspects with respect to drug
delivery as human eye consists of tremendous barriers and this result into certain problems like
low bioavailability which overall reduce the efficacy of the treatment. In Situ gelling system is
considered as a unique method which is developed in order to increase the bioavailability of drug
as well as to achieve a controlled manner of drug delivery. These are the gelling system which is
liquid at room temperature but once, these are instilled into the human eye, they get modified
into gels which involve different mechanisms like changes in temperature, pH or ionic
environment. The present review focuses on the use of biodegradable polymers that are being employed in the formulation of this gelling system and their wide acceptability in designing of
this system.
