The search for new nanotechnological drugs will also be discussed, when the substance is delivered to the desired area with the help of nanoparticles, the problems of so-called personalized medicine, when approaches to pharmacotherapy are based on the peculiarities of the metabolism of enzymes and hormones of a particular patient.
