NASAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM: PRINCIPLE AND PRACTICES Authors: Subba M , PANDEY NK* AND KUMAR B
ABSTRACT
The intranasal route of drug delivery is reliable in so many ways. This route of drug delivery
not only has less side-effect compared to other dosage forms but also has more
bioavailability. There is no degradation of drug by enzymes as in case of oral route. It offers
better patient comfort and preference as it is needleless and pain free which can aslo be
favourable in case of diseases that require long term treatment. Lipophilic drugs can be
administered via transcellular aided route. This route is preferable for local as well as
systemic delivery of drug. The distribution of dose is enhanced and has a possibility of
crossing the blood brain barrier (BBB) which is beneficial for treatment of CNS disorders.
This route has a significant potential to deliver various therapeutic substances like small
molecules, large molecules, lipophilic drugs, and stem cells to the brain.
