*Deepak Askar and Twinkle Jiwani

ABSTRACT

Drug delivery refers to approaches, formulations, technologies and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body as required to safely achieving its desired therapeutic effect, in the past few decades, considerable attention has been focused on the development of new drug delivery system (NDDS).[1] The novel drug delivery system is said to be a rebirth system as it has modified a number of drugs, helped in overcoming several associated problems with these drugs, and thus got us with prolonged acting drugs with controlled action.[2] The NDDS should ideally fulfil two prerequisites: Firstly, it should deliver the drug at a rate directed by the needs of the body, over the period of treatment. Secondly, it should channel the active entity to the site of action. Conventional dosage forms including prolonged released dosage forms unable to fulfil none of these desired characteristics. At present, no available drug delivery system behaves ideally but attempts have been made to bridge the gap between ideal & available.[3]
