Abstract

Nanotechnology is the science of material featuring between 10?9 and 10?7 of a meter. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is the latest advancement in pharmacology known for presenting multiple newer tools, opportunities and scope in drug delivery system having signi?cant applications in disease diagnostics and treatment. Nano drug delivery system comprised of nano-sized products which can be transformed in numerous ways to improve their characteristics by leading to prolonged circulation, improved drug localization and enhanced drug ef?cacy. The aim of this paper is to summarize the types of pharma nano-systems and nanoparticles commonly used in drug delivery system along with their advantages, disadvantages and health issues related to nano drug delivery.

Keywords: Nanotechnology, Nano Drug Delivery, Nanoparticles, Liposomes.
