NANOSUSPENSION: AN EMERGING METHOD OF DRUG DELIVERY
Dr. Meenakshi Savant*
ABSTRACT
Background: Nanosuspension is an innovative drug delivery method emerging as a new approach to overcome the various limitation of conventional drug delivery. Solubility and bioavailability are two major factor which limit the efficacy of pharmaceutical product. Method: this review describes the methods of pharmaceutical nanosuspension production including advantages and disadvantages, potential benefits, characterization tests, and pharmaceutical applications in drug delivery. Result: Various techniques are used in formation of nanosuspension like homogenization, milling, precipitation etc. Nanosuspension is found to have a great potential to solve the issue of delivery of active pharmaceutical gradient having poor bioavailability, solubility. It also help in enhancing the site specific delivery. Conclusion: Nanosuspensions can be delivered by oral, parenteral, pulmonary and ocular routes. Nanosuspension technology is able enough to bring enormous immediate benefits and will revolutionize the research and practice of medicine in the field of pharmacy.
