Nanotechnology, the future of pharmacy.

Today I am going to talk about the amazing world of applied nanotechnology in pharmacology.

I chose this topic because I am interested in how small particles or instruments can help to significantly improve the effectiveness of some drug and in this way can improve the capacity of said drug to help more people.

This is a topic that I have listened to for a long time, but I only started investigating it to make this blog, so we are going to learn together about nanotechnology in pharmacy.

The first thing we need to know, what is and what nanotechnology is used for?

Nanotechnology is the science that deals with the processes that occur at molecular level and of nano length scale size. There are numerous examples from nature like DNA, water molecules, virus etc.

Nanotechnology has many applications in pharmacology at present as:

· Nano-medicine
· Tissue Engineering
· Nano-robots,
· Advance diagnostic,
· As carrier of diagnostic
· Biosensor
· Biomarker
· Image Enhancement

The future of nanotechnology in pharmacy has enormous potential since eventually in the future more and better nanoparticles and nanomaterials can be developed that can serve to improve the controlled delivery of biactives from a drug in a specific place, which is what has what to achieve to have effect. In fact in the future the objective is to devise a nanomachine, which can detect and attack pathogen simultaneously, detect the change in molecular event during diseased state, and also monitor the efficacy of treatment. This will surely have a very positive impact on human welfare, since it seeks to make better and more effective drugs so that more diseases can be effectively treated, such as cancer.

The nanotechnology principally has only advantages, since what the scientific looking for at work with nanoparticles and nanomaterials is to improve the disadvantages that have the original drugs turning it disadvantages into advantages. For that nanotechnology is the future of pharmacy.

Thanks for reading.
