Abstract

Wang Placha*

The realm of pharmaceutical science revolves around the intricate interplay of art and science in the formulation of effective medications. This abstract delves into the multifaceted landscape of drug formulation, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between scientific principles and creative ingenuity that leads to the development of therapeutic agents with optimal efficacy and patient acceptability. The process of drug formulation entails a harmonious fusion of diverse disciplines, encompassing chemistry, pharmacology, material science, and engineering. This abstract explores the pivotal role of physicochemical properties, such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability, in guiding formulation design. It elucidates the meticulous selection of excipients, carriers, and delivery systems, which act as conduits for controlled release and targeted drug delivery, enhancing therapeutic outcomes while mitigating adverse effects.
