Oral Delivery of Biologics: Recent Advances, Challenges, and Future Perspectives

Abstract

Biologics are the biopharmaceutical drugs that come into existence through biological processes and sources. Today, biologics are the most propitious drugs for the oral dose of various diseases. These diseases can be concerning metabolism and inflammation disorders. Oral delivery of biologics has proven to be the most attainable method of providing medication. It has been highly effective because patients are seen to be directed towards the oral medication because of the ease in taking doses. Despite biologicals being the most promising drug, there are still many hurdles that occur in the oral delivery of them due to several severe harsh boundaries. The sensitivity and the difficulty in delivery of the biologics via the gastrointestinal tract are the biggest hurdles. The research on the oral delivery of biologicals is the most studied topic and is still under the research of many researchers, as it is proven to be pivotal for gaining the desired results from the drug for good.
