The new materials technology of drug delivery
Abstract
The ability to deliver pharmaceuticals to patients in the most physiologically acceptable manner has always been an important issue in medicine. Increasingly, there is evidence to suggest that new technologies and materials will have a profound impact on drug delivery in the near future. Some of these are reviewed here.
