Nasal delivery is branching out into diverse areas such as hormone treatments, insulin delivery, and therapies targeting central nervous system disorders. This broadening not only fuels market growth but also widens the spectrum of nasal drug delivery applications. With ongoing research, these systems could unveil novel solutions for intricate health challenges, potentially elevating patient outcomes and enhancing quality of life.
Moreover, merging nasal drug delivery with nanotechnology facilitates the efficient transport of high molecular weight drugs, peptides, and proteins. Utilizing nanocarriers like liposomes and chitosan-based nanoparticles boosts drug stability and absorption via the nasal mucosa.
In addition, technological advancements in devices have revolutionized nasal drug delivery. Innovations such as pressurized metered-dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and unit-dose devices have ushered in heightened dose accuracy, superior control, and enhanced patient compliance, rendering nasal drug delivery not only more effective but also more user-friendly.
