Abstract

Recent advances in pharmaceutical dosage forms revolutionize drug delivery, prioritizing targeted therapy and patient well-being. Enhanced drug carriers address complex medical challenges, from high-grade gliomas to ocular drug delivery, maximizing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. Traditional dosage forms like tablets and capsules undergo meticulous formulation and manufacturing processes, integrating Quality by Design principles for consistent product quality. Liquid formulations encounter stability challenges, necessitating rigorous stability testing and pH monitoring. Topical formulations, including creams, ointments, and patches, optimize drug absorption and retention, while advanced systems like nanotechnology-based delivery offer precise targeting and reduced toxicity. Biodegradable systems and personalized drug delivery represent groundbreaking advancements facilitated by the convergence of 3D printing and pharmacogenomics. This synergy allows for the customization of treatments to suit the unique biological profiles of individual patients, thereby significantly enhancing treatment outcomes and patient adherence. Regulatory oversight and comprehensive safety assessments play pivotal roles in ensuring the effectiveness and safety of these innovative drug delivery technologies, instilling confidence in both healthcare providers and patients alike. Moreover, the economic ramifications of such advancements are profound, with potential cost savings and improved resource allocation. Looking ahead, emerging trends like immune checkpoint therapy and lipid-based nano-drug delivery promise to further revolutionize personalized medicine, offering new avenues for precise and targeted therapeutic interventions. Together, these developments herald a promising era characterized by unparalleled precision, efficacy, and patient-centric care in the field of drug delivery.

Keywords: Pharmaceutical dosage forms, Drug delivery, Targeted therapy, Nanotechnology-based delivery, Personalized drug delivery, Immune checkpoint therapy.
