Targeted drug delivery mechanisms and systems

Drug delivery systems are a possible solution to control the delivery of drugs at a specific dose and for apredetermined time at the target location. In this way, providing effective concentrations of the drug in theaffected area increases the therapeutic effect, reduces the destruction of the drug, and maintains bloodcirculation for a long time. The efficiency of drug delivery using ultrasound, magnetic field, electric field andoptical field in combination with nanotechnology, has significant potential to enhance the effectiveness oftherapeutic properties. In this paper, the types of conventional drug methods, drug delivery patterns andtargeting mechanisms of drug delivery systems are reviewed.
