The application of drug delivery is a valuable, cost-effective lifecycle management resource. By endowing drugs with new and innovative therapeutic benefits, drug delivery systems extend products’ profitable lifecycle, giving pharmaceutical companies competitive and financial advantages, and providing patients with improved medications. Formulation development is now being used to create new dosage forms for existing products, which not only reduces the time and expense involved in new drug development, but also helps with regard to patent protection and bypassing existing patents. Today’s culture demands convenience, a major factor determining adherence to drug therapy. Over the past few years, patient convenience-oriented research in the field of drug delivery has yielded a range of innovative drug-delivery options. As a result, various drug-delivery systems, including medicated chewing gums, oral dispersible tablets, medicated lozenges and lollipops, have now hit the market and are very popular. These dosage forms offer a highly convenient way to dose medications, not only for special population groups with swallowing difficulties, such as children and the elderly, but for the general populace as well. This book provides valuable insights into a number of formulation design approaches that are currently being used, or could be used, to provide new benefits from existing drug molecules.

This is a useful textbook and resource for undergraduateand postgraduate students and anyone in the working concepts of a drug delivery system and its performance. A novel drug delivery system refers to strategy, technology, formulation-based approaches and customized system(s) developed for safe administration and within body transportation of drugs as needed for optimum therapeutic benefits while ensuring minimum to nil toxic effects. Multidisciplinary approaches and cutting edge technology have been used to develop the carrier modules to deliver the contained drug to the target tissues in a preprogrammed manner. The process desirably modifies the drug distribution and accumulation, thereby producing optimum therapeutic effects. Carrier-mediated drug delivery has emerged as a powerful technology for the treatment of various difficult pathologies. The therapeutic index of conventional and novel drug is enhanced owing to specificity due to targeting of drug to the particular tissue. This book includes an introduction to novel drug delivery, oral osmotic pumps, bioadhesive and mucoadhesive systems, multiple emulsions, colon-specific drug delivery systems, transdermal drug delivery systems, spherical crystallization, microemulsion, implants and inserts, micellar systems, liposomes, microspheres and microcapsules, nanoparticles, resealed erythrocytes, transfersomes and ethosomes, organogels, dendrimers, niosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, drug conjugates, cyclodextrin complexes, multifunctional nanomedicines, and floating drug delivery system(s). Each chapter attempts to discuss introduction, concept, progress, status and future prospects of the concerned novel drug delivery system.

With the improvements in formulation science and certain transdermal delivery technologies, the non-invasive mode of drug delivery is now ready to compete with traditional methods of oral and injectible routes of drug delivery. The Handbook of Non-Invasive Drug Delivery Systems encompasses the broad field of non-invasive drug delivery systems that include drug delivery via topical, transdermal-passive, transdermal-active (device- aided enhanced penetration), trans-mucosal membrane, trans-ocular membrane as well as delivery via alveolar membrane from inhaled medication. Patient compliance has been found to be much higher when administrated by non-invasive routes and therefore they are considered to be a preferred mode of drug delivery. The book includes both science and technological aspects of new drug delivery systems. Its unique focus is that it is on new drug delivery systems that are considered to be "non-invasive". Other unique features include a chapter on Regulatory Aspects of non-invasive systems and one on FDA guidance for topical nano-drug delivery. Two chapters covering market trends and perspectives, as well as providing guidance to those marketing such systems are also included.
