Abstract
Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the field of drug delivery
by enabling targeted and controlled release of drugs within the body. This article
provides an overview of the current state of the art in nanotechnology-based drug
delivery systems and their potential applications. It discusses the various types of
nanoparticles that are currently being used or developed for drug delivery, including
liposomes, dendrimers, and polymeric nanoparticles, and highlights their advantages
and disadvantages. It also covers some of the key challenges and risks associated with
the use of nanotechnology in drug delivery, such as toxicity and regulatory issues.
Finally, the article explores the future prospects of nanotechnology in drug delivery and
highlights some of the areas where further research and development are needed.
Overall, the article demonstrates that nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems hold
great promise for improving the efficacy and safety of drug treatments and that ongoing research in this field has the potential to transform the way we approach drug
delivery in the future. Finally, it's envisaged that this technology will facilitate the
augmentation of precision medicine for better human health care across the spectrum of
diseases.
