With the emergence
of Nanotechnology, there has been remarkable improvement in the field of drug
delivery system over the past decade. Nanotechnology in drug delivery system is
an upcoming field and significant research has been conducted in this regard.
It has been able to overcome some limitations encountered with the traditional
routine drug delivery systems and hence emerged as an effective alternative.
This article reviews nanotechnology based different types of drug delivery
systems and their therapeutic applications.
