The field of drug delivery has seen significant advancements in recent years, driven by the need to provide customized and effective treatments to patients. Dosage forms have expanded beyond conventional tablets, capsules, and injectables to include novel drug carriers such as particulates, vesicles, and nanotechnology-based products. Nanotechnology has played a pivotal role in this transformation, enabling the precise targeting and delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

In addition to traditional drug delivery methods, there has been a growing interest in using food as medicine, known as "nutraceuticals." Nutraceuticals are functional foods and dietary supplements that offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition. The technologies used in drug delivery have been explored for the delivery of nutraceuticals, with herbal actives receiving particular attention due to their low risk-to-benefit ratio.

Drug delivery is a dynamic field that continues to evolve, with new formulations and delivery routes being developed to treat, cure, and mitigate various diseases and disorders. This book, consisting of 27 chapters, provides a comprehensive compilation of information relevant to drug delivery systems, with a focus on products based on nanotechnology.

The target audience for this book includes researchers, scientists, industry professionals, formulators, and product developers, as well as regulatory agencies involved in novel drug delivery research laboratories and pharmaceutical settings. The book will be valuable for those seeking to stay updated on the latest advancements in drug delivery technology and its applications in healthcare.
