Study Notes
NDDS
- Stands for Novel Drug Delivery Systems.
- Designed to improve drug bioavailability, reduce side effects, and enhance patient compliance.
Iontophoresis
- A technique that uses a small electrical current to drive charged drug molecules through the skin.
- Aims to deliver therapeutics transdermally, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract.
Advantages of Iontophoresis
- Non-invasive method for drug administration.
- Allows localized treatment with minimal systemic effects.
- Enhances drug absorption rates compared to passive diffusion.
- Can be used for a variety of medications, including larger molecules like peptides.
Osmotic Pumps and Wearable Ambulatory Pumps
- May replace traditional methods of drug delivery such as injections or oral tablets.
- Offer continuous and controlled drug release, improving therapeutic outcomes.
Electrically Assisted Drug Delivery
- Leverages electrical energy to enhance drug transport across biological barriers.
- Aims to improve the efficacy and speed of drug absorption, particularly for challenging drug formulations.
