About Drug Delivery 		     
   
   
 
Drug Delivery describes the process whereby a pharmaceutical agent is administered to the body in a controlled manner. Drug Delivery Systems are particular dosage forms that permit a more efficient and/or safe delivery of a drug. Drug delivery offers a number of benefits to patients as well as to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
         
 
Benefits to Patients
•
Better efficacy and safety: Drug delivery can enable drugs to enter the body in a manner that optimizes efficacy and safety by maintaining plasma concentrations within a therapeutic window.
•
Better compliance: Drug delivery focuses on developing more practical dosage forms with the aim of increasing convenience for the patient. 
       
 
Benefits to Pharmaceutical Companies
•
Life Cycle Management : The pharmaceutical industry has reached the point where the discovery of new drugs has become very difficult and expensive. Exploiting the maximal value that can be generated of existing compounds now constitutes an important driver of revenue growth. Drug delivery is a solution for pharmaceutical companies to enhance the life cycle of their products and maximize their returns on investments
•
Product Differentiation : Drug delivery systems is an effective way of enhancing the competitiveness in a crowded market
•
Rescuing R&D Dropouts : Many potentially innovative drug may be abandoned due to poor pharmacokinetic properties such as poor water solubility or poor intestinal permeability.  Through drug delivery, pharmacokinetic characteristics of a drug may be improved thus enabling maintenance of drugs in the R&D pipeline.
         
 
Long time considered as a last resort to improve the presentation of an active ingredient, Drug Delivery Systems have nowadays become an essential component of therapeutic efficacy management. The delivery system can be as important as the active chemical in determining the formulation's commercial success.
