AI Technical Summary
Current oral and injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist dosage forms, such as semaglutide, suffer from poor bioavailability, high cost, and severe side effects, making patient access and compliance challenging, while existing nasal and inhalation delivery methods lack suitable platforms with stable and effective formulations.
Development of dry powder and liquid formulations comprising GLP-1 receptor agonists, specifically semaglutide, optimized for nasal delivery or inhalation, using excipients like polymeric viscosity modifiers, bulking agents, and permeability enhancers to ensure stability, appropriate particle size, and ease of administration.
The formulations provide improved bioavailability, reduce side effects, and enhance patient compliance by offering a stable and convenient delivery route for GLP-1 receptor agonists, expanding the patient population that can benefit from these medications.
