ABSTRACT

Standard dosage forms come with their own set of problems. These include spreading out in unintended ways poor targeting low absorption, and limited control over how the drug is released. These issues can lead to less effective treatments higher toxicity, and patients not sticking to their medication plans. To tackle these problems new drug delivery systems (NDDS) have come onto the scene. They offer a more organized way to deliver plant-based medicines and help patients take their meds as prescribed. When you compare them to old-school dosage forms, NDDS options like liposomes, phytosomes, niosomes, ethosome, transfersomes, microspheres, and microemulsions show better absorption, stability, and effectiveness. These cutting-edge systems allow for controlled and long-lasting drug release, zero in on specific areas, and help cut down on drug toxicity. What's more, researchers are looking into using AI to figure out dosages, routes, and sustained release customizing drug delivery to fit treatment needs. But there are still big hurdles to clear, like dealing with regulations andfine-tuning herbal formulas. Even with these roadblocks, the Indian drug industry has tons of room to grow, and the NDDS market is expected to take off in the coming years.
