Chitosan and its derivatives as vehicles for drug delivery

Chitosan and its derivatives as vehicles for drug delivery can achieve the purpose of sustained release and controlled release for drugs, improve the stability of drugs, and reduce adverse drug reactions. So, the bioavailability of drugs can be enhanced. Therefore, chitosan and its derivatives have...
