Innovations in Drug Delivery

In pharmacology, drug absorption refers to the process, wherein the drug moves from the muscle or digestive tube into the body towards the cardiovascular system. In short, drug absorption is the movement of drug into the blood vessels. This movement involves various phases.

The drug delivery industry has emerged significantly with the time. The process of dealing with pharmaceutical compounds to accomplish a healing effect in humans or animals is known as drug delivery. Advanced drug delivery systems assure better delivery of drug into the body.

In terms of healthcare industry, drug delivery is the fastest growing sector. Current findings in the drug delivery sector highlight the development of targeted and advanced drug delivery systems. Here, drug is activated only in the infected parts of the body.

Innovations:

Drug delivery technology along with advancing with time has a positive impact on the global pharmaceutical industry. This is evidence from the immense applications of drug delivery technology around the world.

It offers matchless opportunities to fight diseases in an effective way. In fact, a proper drug delivery system helps in eliminating issues such as tolerability, side effects and multiple applications.

Drug delivery systems can boost a drug’s medicinal value by offering pharmacological benefits as compared to conventional products available in the market. Drug delivery systems evolved greatly from mere reformulation in a quick span of time.

Novel drug delivery technologies offer new potencies to come up with new solutions for new medical problems. Some of the novel drug delivery systems are as follows:

1.         Self-emulsifying drug delivery  systems

2.         Nanotechnology-enabled formulations for delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs

3.         Innovative drug delivery  solutions for Biotech-derived products

4.         Sustained Release Formulations

5.         Micro/Nano particulate drug delivery  systems

6.         Intra-nasal drug delivery systems

There is also great advancement in such new drug delivery systems. For instance, transdermal drug delivery has the ability to make use of nanotechnology to increase concentration and bioavailability.
