Abstract

The article provides an overview of the present status of controlled drug delivery with an emphasis on some of the future trends that are likely to emerge in this area. To date the primary focus of the field has been the dosage form and drug, which do have a significant bearing on performance of these systems but must be considered in light of the biological barriers that are present. These barriers can include physiological and anatomical aspects of the route of administration as well as the patient status and pathology of the disease to be treated. It is clear that an important element of properly optimizing drug delivery systems is a thorough understanding of these biological barriers and this is a primary focus of investigators in this field.
