Eudragit® polymer has been widely used in film-coating for enhancing the quality of products over other materials (e.g., shellac or
sugar). Eudragit® polymers are obtained synthetically from the esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid. Since last few years, they have shown
immense potential in the formulations of conventional, pH-triggered, and novel drug delivery systems for incorporating a vast range of
therapeutics including proteins, vitamins, hormones, vaccines, and genes. Different grades of Eudragit® have been used for designing and
delivery of therapeutics at a specific site via the oral route, for instance, in stomach-specific delivery, intestinal delivery, colon-specific delivery,
mucosal delivery. Further, these polymers have also shown their great aptitude in topical and ophthalmic delivery. Moreover, available literature
evidences the promises of distinct Eudragit® polymers for efficient targeting of incorporated drugs to the site of interest. This review summarizes
some potential researches that are being conducted by eminent scientists utilizing distinct grades of Eudragit® polymers for efficient delivery
of therapeutics at various sites of interest.
