Today’s cyclodextrin is a nice formulation study from one of the best Hungarian pharmaceutical universities, the University of Szeged, who study various excipients – CDs among others – that have an important role in nasal formulations to increase the permeability of the mucosa and prolong the residence time of the drug.

The charged cyclodextrin-based formulations showed significantly higher adhesive force values regardless of the presence of PVA. The drug release was fast and complete, and the permeation of meloxicam was enhanced.
