Drug Delivery is the scientific discipline concerned with the optimization of the delivery of drugs to specific sites and compartments of the body, thereby achieving an optimal therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse effects. It encompasses the design, development, and evaluation of drug delivery systems, including drug carriers, routes of administration, and controlled release technologies.
Drug Delivery Systems
A drug delivery system is a formulation or device that facilitates the administration and delivery of a drug to the body. Drug delivery systems can be designed to control the release of the drug over time, target specific organs or tissues, and improve the drug's bioavailability and efficacy. Common drug delivery systems include tablets, capsules, injections, implants, and transdermal patches.
