Comparison of nanoparticles and fine particles in drug delivery systems.
| Nanoparticles | Fine particles |
|---|---|
| Increased bioavailability | Low bioavailability |
| Dose proportionality | Potential toxic effects |
| Decreased toxicity | Larger and unstable dosage form |
| Smaller dosage form | Low agent surface area hence low dissolution rate |
| Large agent surface area hence high dissolution rate |
