How Can Nanotechnology Improve Drug Delivery in the Digestive System?
Traditional oral medications sometimes suffer from poor bioavailability due to the digestive system's complex environment. Nanoparticles can be engineered to protect drugs from stomach acids and enzymes, allowing for more efficient absorption in the intestine. For instance, liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles can encapsulate drugs, enhancing their stability and targeted delivery.
