Opis

In the mid-to-late 1990s, the emphasis in drug development has been on the design of new delivery systems rather than new drugs. It is the aim of innovative pharmaceutical scientists to design the new dosage forms to overcome the body's barrier mechanisms, which have specifically evolved to exclude foreign material.
