About The Book
This Fourth Edition of the book on Novel Drug Delivery Systems covers the topics recommended in the PCI B.Pharm Syllabus.
A major problem with drugs is the lack of selectivity and specificity of action and pronounced undesirable (side or toxic) effects. Thus, in modern-day research, greatest attention is being paid to ‘optimisation of drug delivery’ by maximising efficacy and minimising toxicity. This precisely was the spirit of Paul Ehrlich in his concept of ‘magic bullet’. We have come a long way in this direction but are still far away from it.
Four new chapters on Mucoadhesive Drug Delivery, Ophthalmic Drug Delivery, Intrauterine Drug Delivery, and Solid Lipid Nanoparticles have been added. In contrast, a chapter on Resealed Erythrocytes has been dropped.
