Abstract

With recent research and clinical advancements progressing, great strides have been made in treating both infectious and non-infectious diseases more specifically and with limited side effects. Nanotechnology in medicine has revolutionized drug delivery and improved treatment options. While they have increased efficacy, bioavailability, dose-response, targeting ability, combat antimicrobial resistance, and enhanced safety, the field is often unexplored and limited to academic institutional interests. Government support, specific flagship programmes, and more significant investments in this field could yield promising results with a greater understanding of its usage and related adverse effects.
