I extend my heartful gratitude to all the authors who gave their valuable input in
finalizing this book and to the editor for completing a monumental task. This book
covers a detailed review of different drug delivery systems. The authors provide
valuable insights into many delivery systems in a clear and concise manner. I found
each and every article to be worth reading. The topics covered in this volume show
elementary to current developments in drug delivery systems. This book contains more
than enough references, to both primary and secondary sources, for those wanting to
learn more about drug delivery systems. In my opinion, this book is a
thought-provoking book that would be of interest to students, professors, and
industry personnel. It can be used as supplementary material for teaching drug
delivery systems at an undergraduate or postgraduate level and can be a great read
for undergraduate and postgraduate students of pharmacy.

Microencapsulation is elucidated as a powerful tool augmenting controlled drug
release mechanisms. Similarly, muco-adhesive, gastro-retentive, and naso-pulmonary
drug delivery systems are meticulously explored, highlighting their specialized
mechanisms and therapeutic advantages in treating diverse medical conditions.
The chapters dedicated to transdermal and ocular drug delivery systems underscore the
innovative strides made in enhancing patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes
through non-invasive delivery routes. Nanotechnology, a rapidly advancing frontier,
is explored for its potential to revolutionize drug delivery precision and efficacy
Furthermore, the development of implantable and controlled-release injectables is
detailed, underscoring their role in sustained delivery and personalized medicine
approaches. Each chapter is authored by leading experts, ensuring the content is not
only authoritative but also at the forefront of current research and application.
"Novel Drug Delivery Systems (NDDS)" serves as an indispensable resource for
researchers, academicians, and pharmaceutical professionals navigating the dynamic
landscape of drug delivery. Each chapter is meticulously crafted to offer
comprehensive coverage and depth, making this book an essential addition to the
library of anyone involved in pharmaceutical sciences.
