Felodipine has proven to be effective as an atherosclerosis therapy because it increases blood flow to the vessel wall. However, the poor solubility, low bioavailability, and hepatic first-pass metabolism of oral felodipine compromise its therapeutic effectiveness. The study's goal is to create a nasal pH-sensitive hydrogel of felodipine-loaded invasomes (IPHFI) that will improve felodipine's release, permeation, bioavailability, and efficacy as a potential diabetes-associated atherosclerosis therapy.
