Abstract: The conventional methods of drug delivery, primarily oral and injectable routes, have encountered limitations in effectively administering new drugs.These limitations arise particularly with drugs such as proteins and nucleic acids, where traditional routes may not be optimal for therapeutic efficacy.Novel biological medications necessitate innovative delivery strategies to mitigate adverse effects and enhance patient compliance.Nanometer-sized drug particles present unique characteristics that offer potential improvements in various dosage formats.Within this size range, particles exhibit resistance to settling, increased saturation solubility, rapid dissolution, and enhanced adherence to biological surfaces.Consequently, these properties facilitate a quicker onset of therapeutic action and improved bioavailability.The emergence of nanotechnology provides scientists with a versatile tool to address both traditional and innovative drug delivery challenges.By leveraging nanotechnology, researchers explore new avenues for drug delivery, striving to optimize therapeutic outcomes while minimizing adverse effects.This review underscores the transformative potential of nano-drug delivery systems in advancing pharmaceutical sciences and enhancing patient care.
