Abstract
Liquid bioadhesive microemulsions or liposomic dispersions containing proteinic substances, especially calcitonin, that allow the systemic, local or topical administration of drugs by transmucosal route are described. This type of administration shows some considerable advantages of activity, tolerability, dosage individualization and drug stability. The compositions contain proteinic substances, and a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene thermosetting copolymer. At body temperature the viscosity of the compositions is increased and provides increase residence time at the administration site.
