Drug formulation and delivery systems lie at the core of transforming a pharmacologically active compound into an effective and patient-friendly therapeutic product. Formulation science integrates chemistry, pharmacology, materials science, and engineering to create dosage forms that maintain drug stability, control release profiles, and ensure targeted delivery. The delivery system determines not only how efficiently a drug reaches its site of action, but also how it is absorbed, distributed, and metabolized. In recent decades, advancements in nanotechnology, biomaterials, and molecular targeting have revolutionized how drugs are formulated and administered. With growing emphasis on patient adherence, safety, and cost-effectiveness, innovation in drug delivery systems is becoming more important than ever.
