Current Trends in Formulation Science and Bioavailability

Abstract

Abdul Husnain

Formulation science is a multidisciplinary field that plays a pivotal role in pharmaceutical development. It encompasses the art and science of designing drug delivery systems to optimize therapeutic outcomes while ensuring patient compliance and safety. The primary goal of formulation scientists is to improve the bioavailability of drugs, enabling them to reach their intended targets efficiently and effectively. In recent years, several groundbreaking trends have emerged in formulation science, revolutionizing drug delivery methods and enhancing the overall bioavailability of medications. This article explores some of the current trends shaping the industry and their potential impact on healthcare. Nanotechnology has revolutionized the field of formulation science, particularly in the realm of drug delivery. The development of nanocarriers, such as liposomes, micelles, and nanoparticles, has enabled the targeted delivery of drugs to specific tissues or cells. These nanocarriers can protect the drug from degradation, improve solubility, and enhance permeation through biological barriers, all of which contribute to improved bioavailability.
