Nanotechnology and Medicines


Often hailed as a revolutionary new technology, nanotechnology has the caliber to impact almost every area of society. Nanotechnology involves major manipulating properties and structures at the nanoscale. Often involving dimensions that are just tiny fractions of the width of the human hair. Nanotechnology is being already used in products in its passive form, such as cosmetics and sunscreens, and it is expected that in the coming decades, new phases of products such as better batteries and improved electronic equipment will be developed.

ESTRASORB:
This is a tropical lotion that contains estrogen, which approved for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. The product utilizes Novavax's patented and proprietary mi cellar nanoparticles drug-delivery platform. This technology involves the application of a cosmetic like, moisturising emulsion to deliver a therapeutic dose of 17a estradiol into the bloodstream when applied to the skin.

NANOSHELLS:
For people wipth cancer, chemotherapy, with its painful side effects, is often worst part of the treatment process. The next stein research will be to do a human trial.
