This nanomicellar formulation, loaded with natamycin, is designed to treat ocular fungal infections by improving the drug's solubility and permeation across the cornea. It reduces the dose and dosing frequency, thus enhancing patient compliance. Developed by researchers at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad, the formulation is scalable for large-scale production. This technology is particularly useful for pharmaceutical applications in treating ocular fungal infections.
