Abstract
The present invention is directed to mucosal originated drug delivery systems and methods for using the drug delivery system to treat conditions in animals. Conditions amenable to treatment according to the invention are also described. The described mucosal drug delivery systems provide for drug release across a mucosal membrane as well as release away from the mucosal membrane.
