New nanoparticles offer safer, more effective drug delivery

Emerging for non-invasive heparin delivery systems: recent advances, barriers, solutions, and applicability - Pharma Excipients

Abstract Nowadays, the use of unfractionated low molecular weight heparins through intravenous and subcutaneous routes has been limited by several delivery challenges. These include pharmacological activity fluctuations, bleeding issues, and numerous manufacturing restrictions. To address these issues, several efforts have been taken to find alternative routes for this medication. Unfortunately, the past and recent reviews were mainly explored t…
