Traditional drug delivery methods often face challenges such as poor solubility, rapid metabolism, and systemic toxicity. Nanotechnology offers solutions to these issues by:
Targeted delivery: Nanoparticles can be engineered to target specific cells or tissues, reducing side effects and improving therapeutic outcomes. Enhanced permeability and retention: Nanoparticles can penetrate tissues more efficiently and remain in the system longer, providing sustained release of the drug. Improved solubility: Drugs that are poorly soluble in water can be encapsulated in nanoparticles, enhancing their solubility and bioavailability.
