Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are considered as one among the leading causes
of morbidity and mortality.

According to WHO, Adverse Drug Reaction is any noxious, unintended,
and undesired effect of a drug, which occurs at doses used in humans for prophylaxis,
diagnosis, or therapy. Pharmacovigilance is an important and integral part of
clinical research. While major advancements of the discipline of pharmacovigilance
have taken place in the West, not much has been achieved in India. However,
with more clinical trials and clinical research activity being conducted in
India, there is an immense need to understand and implement pharmacovigilance.
For this to happen in India, the mind set of people working in regulatory agency
(DCGI ) and the Indian pharmaceutical companies need to change.

An Antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. As a result, antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols or polyphenols.^[1]

Carbon nanotubes have drawn great interest and attraction in the field ranging
from physics, to chemistry and to biology also.

Recently Carbon nanotubes have been designed to be used as a drug delivery
vector. It has shown potential in tissue engineering, nuclear targeting, and
drug, protein and peptide drug delivery also. The small nanoscale dimension
and astonishing properties make them a distinctive carrier with a wide range
of promising applications. This review briefly outlines some of the important
biomedical application of carbon nanotubes.

Problems associated with the barrier properties of the skin limit the transdermal delivery of the drugs.

So enhanced transdermal delivery has become a research interest, and strategies include structural modification to optimize the physicochemical properties of the drug and vehicle interaction, the use of permeability enhancers and occlusion and various electrical assisted method include iontophoresis, electrophoretion, use of photomechanical wave and sonophoresis. The application of ultrasound of a suitable frequency significantly enhances the transdermal transport of drugs a phenomenon referred to as Phonophoresis.
