Preferred Label : drug carriers;
MeSH definition : Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness
of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release
technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug
toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug
delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres,
soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes
among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers.;
