Swollen drug delivery systems based on a single biopolymer and on a polyelectrolyte complex. After the polymer swells, the medium is interposed between the polymer chains. The strong interaction between the polyelectrolytes prevents the separation of the polymer chains, and the high cross-linking between the chains means a greater capacity to control drug release and adhere to mucosa.
