    Gastro Retentive Drug Target System: Its Needs, Advantages, Limitation and Approaches

    Abstract: Background: Gastro retentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) address limitations of oral therapy for drugs with poor solubility, instability at intestinal pH, or narrow absorption windows by prolonging gastric residence and increasing contact with the gastric mucosa. Objectives: To review GRDDS approaches—floating systems, mucoadhesive systems, and super porous hydrogels—with emphasis on formulation strategies and polymer–excipient selection to enhance gastric retention, modulate buoyancy/swelling/adhesion, and ultimately improve oral bioavailability and therapeutic outcomes for …

    Child Friendly Innovation: A New Era in Pediatrics Drug Delivery Systems

    Abstract: Pediatric formulations are becoming more and more popular as a result of advancements in pharmaceutical delivery technology. For young patients, there isn't a safe and effective drug delivery system in place. Since children's pharmacokinetics and pathophysiologic profiles differ from those of adults, it is imperative to design and develop an innovative and appropriate delivery system to provide accurate and dependable medicine administration to pediatric patients. Discussions will be held under …

    pH-Triggered In-Situ Nasal Gel Systems for Migraine Therapy: A Review

    Abstract: Intranasal drug delivery has gained considerable attention as a non-invasive route for delivering drugs to both systemic circulation and the central nervous system, particularly for the treatment of migraine. Traditional nasal formulations such as sprays and drops often show poor therapeutic performance due to rapid mucociliary clearance and limited retention within the nasal cavity. To overcome these challenges, in-situ gel systems have been designed, which transform from a liquid to …

    Smart Drug Delivery Using Nanorobots

    Abstract: In recent years, the field of micro/nanorobot research has gained popularity. Because it can be used in targeted medication distribution, surgical procedures, disease detection, etc., it has enormous promise in medical therapy. Different from conventional medication delivery, which depends on blood flow to drug delivery to difficult-to-reach locations is made possible by the planned micro/nanorobots' ability to move independently. Micro/nanorobots were powered by either endogenous power (chemical reaction energy) or …

    Advances in Stimuli-Responsive Smart Drug Delivery Systems: A Systematic Review

    Abstract: Imagine a world where medicines work smarter, not harder. Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (SRDDS) are transforming healthcare by releasing therapeutic agents in response to specific triggers. These triggers can be internal, like changes in pH or temperature, or external, like light or magnetic fields. By leveraging these triggers, SRDDS can optimize treatment and minimize side effects. The potential applications of SRDDS are vast, from cancer treatment to gene delivery and …

    Space Pharmacy for Human Space Exploration: Overcoming Drug Stability, Packaging Challenges, Pharmacokinetic Variations, and Developing Innovative On-Demand Therapeutic Solutions for Long- Duration Missions Beyond Earth

    Abstract: As humankind prepares for prolonged space exploration and the establishment of lunar and Martian habitats, ensuring reliable access to safe and effective medicines has emerged as a critical challenge. The evolving discipline of space pharmacy addresses the unique pharmaceutical needs of astronauts in microgravity and radiation-rich environments, where drug stability, packaging, and pharmacokinetics are markedly different from conditions on Earth. Traditional dosage forms often undergo accelerated degradation, while altered fluid …

    AI in Healthcare: Drug Delivery in Tuberculosis

    Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) , mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a major global health burden, accounting for millions of new infections and deaths each year. Although progress has been made in diagnosis and treatment, the growing threat of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB makes disease control increasingly difficult. Conventional diagnostic approaches such as chest X-rays, sputum smear microscopy, and culture methods continue to play an important role, but they …
