Hydrogel-based strategies for the controlled delivery of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs (2026) · Chemical Papers · doi
The paper identifies a gap in the development of stimuli-responsive hydrogel-based drug delivery systems, which can respond to different physiological conditions and target specific sites of action. There is a need for further research on the design of hydrogel-based systems that can effectively load, protect, and release analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, while minimizing adverse effects.
