| description | Nanotechnology offers a revolutionary approach to drug delivery systems, with nanoparticles playing a central role. These particles, typically sized between 1 and 100 nanometers, possess unique properties that enhance medication effectiveness and reduce side effects. This article explores the key applications of nanotechnology in drug delivery. The ability to deliver drugs directly to target sites is a significant advantage. Nanoparticles can be engineered to navigate biological barriers and reach specific cells or tissues, minimizing damage to healthy areas. This targeted approach is particularly valuable in cancer treatment, where it can significantly reduce the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. Nanotechnology improves the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. By encapsulating drugs within nanoparticles, their absorption and therapeutic effect are significantly enhanced. |
