Dr. Ghareeb M. Abdel-Aal,
lecturer, Department of Pharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmacy, Assiut University
has conducted a study on the possibility of using nanotechnology in the medical
field as an anti-fungal and anti-germs. In his study, Dr. Abdel-Aal explained
that the use of this technique has truly led to an increased melting of the
anti-fungal drug in water more than 80 times the regular method. This has led
to an increase in its effectiveness pathogenic fungi in human body, particularly
the fungi existing in eyes.
Dr. Ghareeb confirmed that this
study will encourage Egyptian drug companies to introduce a local product for
the treatment of fungi-caused illnesses especially because no anti-fungal drugs
are available for the treatment of eyes in the local drug market.
Dr. Ghareeb's study has been
published in an international peer reviewed journal. The study was co-authored
by Dr. Mohamed A Attiya, Professor Emeritus, Department of Pharmaceutics,
Faculty of Pharmacy, and Dr. Ramadan A. Othman, Lecturer, Department of Botany
and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Assiut University.
A Study in Assiut University Asserts that the Use of Nano Technology Increases the Effectiveness of Anti-Fungal Medications
