Abstract
Drug delivery systems play a pivotal role in veterinary medicine, facilitating the effective administration of medications to animals for therapeutic purposes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the definition, importance, and recent advancements in drug delivery systems for veterinary applications. Beginning with an introduction to the challenges inherent in veterinary drug delivery, the review outlines the significance of innovative delivery systems in optimizing drug efficacy, enhancing patient compliance, and minimizing adverse effects.
The review then delves into various drug delivery routes, including oral, injectable, transdermal, topical, implantable, nasal, and pulmonary routes, discussing their respective advantages, limitations, and recent developments. Notably, recent advancements in controlled-release formulations, targeted delivery, and personalized medicine have revolutionized veterinary drug delivery, offering solutions for chronic conditions, companion animal health, and livestock management. Challenges in the development and commercialization of veterinary drug delivery systems are also addressed, including regulatory considerations and species-specific variations. Finally, the review highlights emerging trends and future perspectives in the field, emphasizing the need for continued research and collaboration to address unmet needs and improve therapeutic outcomes in veterinary practice. Overall, this review underscores the critical role of drug delivery systems in advancing veterinary medicine and improving animal health and welfare. training to enhance practical skills development among veterinary students and practitioners.
Furthermore, the review underscores the potential of drug delivery systems to address emerging challenges in veterinary medicine, including the management of infectious diseases, zoonotic transmission, and antimicrobial resistance.
In conclusion, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the importance and recent advancements in drug delivery systems for veterinary medicine. By addressing the unique challenges and opportunities in this field, it highlights the critical role of innovative drug delivery technologies in advancing animal health, welfare, and veterinary care.
