Recent Advances in Ocular Drug Delivery Systems

Transport of drugs applied by traditional dosage forms is restricted to the eye, and therapeutic drug concentrations in the target tissues are not maintained for a long duration since the eyes are protected by a unique anatomy and physiology. For the treatment of the anterior segment of the eye, various droppable products to prolong the retention time on the ocular surface have been introduced ...

Recent Advances in Drug Delivery Systems

Drug targeting to specific organs and tissues has become one of the critical endeavors of the century since the use of free drugs in conventional dosage forms generally involves difficulties in achieving the target site at the appropriate dose after or during a proper time period. Consequently, the search for new drug delivery approaches and new modes of action represent one of the frontier res...

Recent Advances in Novel Drug Delivery Systems

Drug delivered can have significant effect on its efficacy. Some drugs have an optimum concentration range with in which maximum benefit is derived and concentrations above (or) below the range can be toxic or produce no therapeutic effect. Various drug delivery and drug targeting systems are currently under development. The main goal for developing such delivery systems is to minimize drug deg...

Recent Advances in Novel Drug Delivery Systems

Drug is delivered can have a significant effect on its efficacy. Various drug delivery and drug targeting systems are currently under development. Targeting is the ability to direct the drug. Two major mechanisms for drug release passive and active targeting. Controlled drug release and subsequent biodegradation are important for developing successful formulations Colloidal drug carrier systems...
