Using targeted drug delivery you can deliver the drug at the right point, in the right time and with right dosage. It will reduce the side effects of drugs too. Because it will not influence other regions.
They help come very close to achieving the long desired spatio-temporal delivery of therapeutic agents thereby minimizing side effects and maximizing therapeutic efficacy.
We have found a curious advantage to transdermal delivery of vitamin B12 using our TransdermOil system, in that the dose deliverable is much higher than can be achieved from oral delivery. In addition there is a long flat profile of release thus enabling saturation of transporters. High dose oral or sublingual has not achieved this. We have found that this can be used for successful treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome and is a huge benefit for treatment of autism in kids, who have previously had to have injections (which the hate)..
Targeted Drug Delivery requires very small amount of drug comparatively to conventional. Due to this, the toxicity reduce inside the body and side effects of the drug on organs also very less. Drugs can be delivered to the exact location with the right amount of dosage.
