What Role Does Nanotechnology Play in Treating Hypertension?
Nanotechnology can significantly improve the treatment of hypertension through targeted drug delivery systems. Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver antihypertensive drugs directly to the sites of action, thereby reducing side effects and enhancing drug efficacy. Liposomes, dendrimers, and polymeric nanoparticles are some examples of nanocarriers used in these targeted therapies. This ensures that the medication is released in a controlled manner, improving patient compliance and outcomes.
