Abstract
With the advent of new technology, there are many advances in the field of drug delivery for sustained or controlled release of drug. The conventional drug delivery is undergoing reforms to develop new and innovative drug delivery systems (DDS). The concept of elegant DDS involves the administration of drug or combination of drugs in innovative and attractive way without individuals’ acceptable route like administration of antifungal drugs for paronychia using medicated nail lacquer. Other systems involved are medicated lipsticks, medicated tattoos, medicated chewing gum, etc. Also in the era of wearable technology and artificial intelligence, use of wearable’s to monitor and diagnose different disease conditions like anaphylaxis and cardiac disease is the area of interest for research. All these wearable’s and formulations are used to provide an elegant look as well as therapeutic effect. The present review highlights the present scenario of different elegant DDSs and also focuses on their method of preparation, excipients and also the evaluation parameters. The elegant drug delivery will be the modernised cosmeceuticals for management and treatment of complicated conditions in near future.
Highlights
The basic purpose of any drug delivery systems (DDS) is to deliver the drug in a safe and efficacious manner so as to achieve the therapeutic effect in humans and animals [1]
The content of randomly selected medicated chewing gum (MCG) is measured. It complies with the test if the content of each single MCG is between 85% and 115% of the average content [20]
Phosphate buffer saline is added to the beaker as a dissolution medium and this assembly is to be placed on the magnetic stirrer
Summary
The basic purpose of any DDS is to deliver the drug in a safe and efficacious manner so as to achieve the therapeutic effect in humans and animals [1]. An ideal DDS is the one which increases the bioavailability of the drug when administered in the body provides site-specific action and delivers the drug in a controlled manner in the body (Figure 1). The other characteristics of an ideal DDS are it must provide delivery of a wide variety of drugs through the same process, high amount of drug dispersion, ease of administration to patients, consistent delivery of drug at various physiological fluids and cost effectiveness [2]. Elegant DDS is a modification of DDS to enhance the behaviour of conventional system in modernized way in consideration with external appearance.
