Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been great progress in the field of parenteral drugs. This is due to the development of pharmaceutical technology and drug analysis as a response to the emergence of clinical challenges.
The crucial issue in parenteral formulation is chemical, physical, and microbiological stability. One of the biggest problems of the technological process of such drugs is the poor solubility and permeability of most active pharmaceutical ingredients. To overcome this disadvantage, nanotechnology is used, including lipid-based, polymeric, and hybrid nanoparticles. Prolonged drug release formulations are developed, such as in situ implants and drug carriers enabling the drug to reach a critical organ or neoplastic tumor.
Other important issues related to parenteral drugs are their safety, PK/PD interactions, and drug compatibility when administered simultaneously through the same vascular access.
This Special Issue in Pharmaceutics is dedicated to the advantages of parenteral formulations and aims to draw together experts in the fields of pharmaceutical sciences, technology, analytical chemistry, and clinical medicine. Authors are invited to submit original and review articles covering all aspects of this important research field. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
