What is the Impact of Nanoparticles on Drug Excretion?
The excretion of drugs can also be affected by the use of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can prolong the circulation time of drugs, reducing the frequency of dosing required. However, the excretion pathways for nanoparticles themselves need to be carefully considered to avoid potential toxicity. Common excretion routes include renal and hepatic pathways. The size, shape, and surface properties of nanoparticles can influence their clearance from the body, and these factors must be optimized to ensure safety and efficacy.
