Abstract

The main objective of therapy for many medications is to obtain a therapeutically effective and non-toxic steady-state blood or tissue level for a sustained length of time. Conventional drug delivery system not only achieves but also maintains the drug concentration within the therapeutically effective range only when taken several times a day depending upon the dosage regimen. This result shows significant fluctuation in drug levels. An approach to overcome such fluctuations conventional led to the development of several novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) that could revolutionize formulation methods and provide a number of therapeutic benefits. The chapter is divided into two sections: the first deals with nanofluids, and the second discusses their use in medicine. Nanotechnology is a novel technique that comprises materials and equipment capable of regulating a substance's physical as well as chemical characteristics at subatomic scales. This invention has the potential to remove some of the obvious boundaries between biology, physics, and chemistry, as well as influence our current perceptions and understanding. As a result of the widespread application of nanotechnology throughout time, a slew of new challenges and bearings may develop in education, research, and diagnostics. Nanofluids are known as emulsions or suspensions of nanoparticles (NPs) in fluids. At low nanoparticle concentrations, they demonstrate a significant improvement in their characteristics.
