What are the Benefits of Using Smart Nanocarriers?
Smart nanocarriers offer several advantages over traditional drug delivery methods:
Targeted Delivery: By directing the drug precisely to the disease site, smart nanocarriers minimize damage to healthy tissues. Controlled Release: These systems can release drugs in a controlled fashion, maintaining therapeutic levels for prolonged periods. Enhanced Solubility: They can improve the solubility and stability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Reduced Side Effects: By minimizing systemic exposure, smart nanocarriers reduce adverse side effects. Multifunctionality: They can be designed to carry multiple drugs or combine therapeutic and diagnostic functions (theranostics).
