A magnetic field is one of the most promising tools for remotely triggered drug release because of its noncontact nature, simplicity, convenience, and excellent maneuverability. A drug delivery system based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is expected to realize the effective and efficient delivery of drugs with timed quantitatively controlled release in the lesion area. In this review, we give an overview of the recent progress in the fabrication of magnetic drug carriers and magnetically triggered drug release, mainly focusing on the methods of magnetic triggering and the drug release mechanism. In addition, the advantages, limits, and prospects of current triggering methods are also briefly summarized.
