  • First Online:
Ionically Gelled Biopolysaccharide Based Systems in Drug Delivery

Part of the book series: Gels Horizons: From Science to Smart Materials ((GHFSSM))

Abstract

The design, development, and production of orally administrable multiple-unit dosage forms have mostly been based on the usage of natural polymers. Notably, the large group of polysaccharides has been taken into account by researches to produce multiple-unit dosage forms for drug administration because of their exceptional properties. Polysaccharides are biocompatible and biodegradable because they are similar to the body tissues and can be degraded by enzymatic processes. Currently, the use of ionic polysaccharides for assembly any type of particle for drug delivery systems is a trend. This chapter deals with the different polysaccharide-based Ionically gelled multiple-units in drug delivery.
