Abstract

Nanotechnology provides materials, devices or drugs in very small scale to make available useful abilities. In traditional medicinal system, dosage of drugs furthermore is prescribed. Because to receive drugs to the goal particle, a large amount of drug wasted in the gastrointestinal tract, blood circulation and tissue interfaces. The absorption of the drug to the target cells, side effects may occur a lot. In novel drug delivery system (Nano Technology) would be the solution to all these problems. Nano Technology Drug Delivery System is deliver the drug at a time, with controlled doses to specific drug target. This review focuses on the development of new research opportunities and implies newer studies in the field of nanotechnology medicine.
