ABSTRACT

The science has been ever evolving and credit goes to the numerous researchers working with a goal to enhance the quality of life. 2The nanoscience has become a boon to mankind by offering a number of advantages over conventional drug formulations. This has subsequently led to rethink the game plan to battle against diseases/disorders. The apparent benefit are reduction in adverse effects by offering site specific drug delivery, reduced dosing, access to small apertures too. Overall the patient compliance has been observed to be improved upon use of nanotechnology-based products. The present chapter focuses on general aspects of nanotechnology and applications embracing manifold routes of application.
