Abstract

Pharmacology is the study of drugs, or chemical compounds, that act by interacting with different living things, such as cells, tissues, and even whole organisms, to achieve a desired result. A drug must enter the body and be distributed in some way that allows it to reach its site of action for it to be effective. The technique or approach used to provide pharmaceutical drugs to achieve therapeutic effect in people or animals is known as drug delivery. The creation of new materials or carrier systems for efficient therapeutic medication administration is a large area of study in the field of drug delivery. These systems are crucial in the treatment of many diseases. A novel drug's molecule requires expensive and time-consuming development. The employment of numerous methods, including dosage titration, individualising drug therapy, and therapeutic drug monitoring, improves the safety efficacy ratios of older medications. When it comes to delivering drugs to specific bodily regions, traditional methods of drug administration face several obstacles. To enhance the therapeutic delivery of medications, increasing research and development activities have been implemented, along with many investment opportunities. This article discusses the past background and conventional drug delivery methods. It also includes the update on some of the existing drug delivery technologies for oral controlled release, oral disintegrating dosage forms, and nano drug delivery system.
