Nanocarriers For The Delivery Of Combination Drugs eBook

Nanocarriers for the Delivery of Combination Drugs focuses on the role of nanocarriers in the delivery of combination drugs for the management and treatment of various diseases. Nanocarriers belonging to the category of polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, lipidic nanocarriers (like nanoemulsions), liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers are now being used in the drug delivery of combination drugs. This book helps readers assimilate all the information available surrounding the application of various nanocarrier technologies for the delivery of combination drugs of synthetic and natural origin, including small and large molecules.

This is an important reference source for pharmaceutical scientists and biomaterials scientists who are looking to gain an increased understanding on how nanotechnology is improving the efficiency of combination drug delivery.

• Outlines how nanocarriers are used to enhance combination drug delivery systems
• Assesses the major challenges of delivering combination drugs successfully, and explains how nanocarriers can help meet these challenges
• Explores the characteristics of a variety of nanocarrier material types
