Abstract
Described herein are mucoadhesive pharmaceutical compositions of corticosteroids, as well as methods of making such pharmaceutical compositions, and therapeutic methods using them. The compositions typically comprise a corticosteroid in a mucoadhesive system, wherein the mucoadhesive system comprises a rheology-modifying agent and a vehicle for the corticosteroid. The compositions are particularly useful for treating inflammatory conditions of the esophagus, such as eosinophilic esophagitis, or inflammatory bowel disease.
