SOLD OUT – Join the waitlist.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of the critical role of drug delivery systems, focusing on the nasal, pulmonary, ocular, and dermal routes. These advances in delivery methods are reshaping modern therapeutics by providing significant advantages over traditional oral or intravenous methods, including enhanced patient compliance, targeted treatment, and improved bioavailability.

The seminar highlights how these systems are revolutionising the landscape of personalised medicine to reduce invasiveness and improve treatment precision. By expanding therapeutic options and boosting patient outcomes, these innovative routes are at the forefront of drug formulation advancements.

Be informed about:

1. Pulmonary Drug Delivery

Targeting the lungs directly allows for lower doses, reducing side effects and maximizing therapeutic impact, particularly for respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Additionally, pulmonary delivery holds potential for treating systemic diseases due to the large surface area and high permeability of the alveolar region, allowing for rapid absorption in the bloodstream

2. Nasal Drug Delivery

Nasal route can be used for both local and systemic drug delivery. The nasal route is being explored for central nervous system conditions, like epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, etc. Nasal delivery also supports self-administration and rapid absorption through the nasal mucosa, making it crucial for conditions requiring immediate therapeutic effects, such as migraines and certain emergency medications

3. Ophthalmic Drug Delivery

The eye is a delicate organ that requires targeted approaches to address conditions such as glaucoma, dry eye and retinal diseases. Preservatives in eye drops affect the retinal surface especially on long term usage. Preservative free delivery systems can help eliminate preservatives from formulations thereby reducing these side effect

4. Dermal Drug Delivery

The skin provides an accessible and non-invasive route for systemic or localized drug delivery. This route is highly suitable for drugs that are poorly absorbed orally or prone to degradation in the digestive tract
