Pradeep Kumar Kare* and Dr. Kapil Malviya

ABSTRACT

Drug delivery systems have recently benefited from the development of novel technology. In comparison to other methods, using herbal formulations for innovative drug delivery systems is more beneficial and advantageous. The medicinal effects of plant extracts have been improved by the use of liposome, ethosome, phytosomes, emulsion, microsphere, and solid lipid nanoparticles in herbal formulation. By utilising all of these, tailored delivery of the formulation is accomplished, resulting in the formulation demonstrating action on the site and also increasing the formulation's bioavailability. The actives and extracts employed in herbal formulations exhibit increased stability, sustained release of formulation, protection against toxicity, and improved therapeutic efficacy using these innovative drug delivery vehicles. The primary goals of creating alternative medication delivery systems are to improve patient convenience, boost drug delivery efficiency, and ensure patient safety. Information on innovative herbal formulations is provided in the current paper.
