Utilization of biodegradable polymers in veterinary science and routes of administration: a literature review

Abstract

The development of innovate pharmaceutical forms is a constant practice in research, development and innovation in laboratories, being of interest to researchers in both academia and industry. The search for knowledge on these release platforms has been gaining considerable space in several areas of study and in the development of new products. One of these areas is veterinary medicine, in which we can describe about the administrations of drug doses that can be improved with the use of sustained release tools. In this review we refer to the main biodegradable polymers utilized in veterinary science and their utilization in pharmaceutical formulations.
