Nanomedicine is emerging as the most important discipline under the umbrella of nanotechnology. It is concerned with the preservation and improvement of human health, using molecular tools and molecular knowledge of the human body. Simply nanomedicine is the application inside nanotechnology to the medicine. The pharmaceutical nanotechnology market is concerned especially with the diagnostic and carrier for drug, which has been rapidly growing over last decade. Some pharmaceutical nanotechnology based products such as nanoparticles polymer, micelles, dendrimer, monoclonal antibody and other modified nanosystems have been approved by US-FDA and have entered in the market. However, some unknown health risk, unpredictable and undefined safety issues and some clinical as well as regulatory issues still pose formidable challenge. Thus, this review justifies the status, scope and importance of nanomedicine inside the field of nanotechnology.
