Drug delivery to the target site, tissue, cell or receptor is another goal to be realized and students must appreciate these concepts. We have made remarkable progress but are still far away from the realization of the ideal drug delivery.</span></p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;">Controlling the fate of drug release administered into the body by any route has always been a fascinating challenge to pharmaceutical researchers. Simultaneously, optimization of drug delivery by maximizing the therapeutic benefit and minimizing the unwanted effects of drugs in the body has been the ultimate goal of pharmaceutical scientists over the decades. Precisely, this is aimed to realize the concept of Magic Bullet by Paul Ehrlich.</p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;">This led to the evolution of concepts of controlled and novel drug delivery as against the conventional drug delivery that results into unintended protracted blood level concentrations leading to therapeutic disadvantages.</p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;">The first edition of&nbsp;<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Controlled and Novel Drug Delivery&nbsp;</em>was published in 1997. As such the area of controlled and novel drug delivery is undergoing transformation at a faster pace. Hence the second edition of this book has been enthusiastically brought out to encompass the recent developments. All the chapters have been contributed by knowledgeable authors who are experts in their own fields and hence readers are assured of up-to-date information in all the areas of controlled and novel drug delivery.</p><p><br></p>

This has necessitated deletions elsewhere: including the section on the history of pharmacy. because several textbooks on this subject are available; the chapter on surgical dressings. because much of the information that was included previously is more appropriately taught in pharmacognosy; the detailed descriptions of the preparation of products from vegetable sources. because. today. these have little relevance in most fields of pharmaceutical practice; and the discussion of endocrine glands and hormones. a large part of which is covered in physiology courses. A further important change is the introduction of the International System of Units (SI units). This has presented a number of difficulties (see Chapter 1) and was further complicated by the fact that even experienced supporters of the scheme do not always agree on the interpretation of some of the recommendations. In consequence. one or two of our decisions may appear debatable; nevertheless. there is no doubt that. as the system has been adopted throughout most of the world. pharmacy students should be using it now.</span><span style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;"><br></span><br></p>
