How Do Smart Drug Delivery Systems Affect Drug Metabolism and Excretion?
These systems can influence drug metabolism and excretion by altering the pharmacokinetic profile of drugs. By modifying the release rate and targeting specific sites, they can extend the half-life of drugs, reduce the metabolic load on the liver, and minimize renal excretion. This can be particularly beneficial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows or those that are rapidly metabolized.
