Nanostructured drug delivery systems: An alternative approach to herbal medicine

Medical professionals and patients alike are aware of the advantages of using medicinal plants, which have been utilised for centuries. Due to their superior therapeutic qualities because they are less likely to have side effects than current medications, the herbal treatment contributes to an improvement in therapeutic value. Nanostructured formulations are used to make herbal medicines more soluble and to help localize the medicine in a particular place, improving its efficacy and safety. Polymeric nanoparticles are colloidal structures that function as drug release control and localization vectors. They can be used to reduce the toxicity and side effects of pharmaceuticals while also increasing bioavailability. In this paper, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of nanostructured drug delivery systems.
