Overview

Drug delivery is a process in which therapeutic agents are targeted to specific sites within the body for maximum therapeutic effect. It is used to improve the efficacy and safety of drugs, extend their duration of action, and reduce the amount of drug necessary to achieve a desired effect. Different forms of drug delivery can be used to achieve a range of goals, such as rapid onset of action or reducing systemic side effects, and they can improve patient compliance. Drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles and drug-eluting stents, can be used to deliver drugs to specific target sites, enabling personalized medicine and improved clinical outcomes.
