MODERN PHARMACEUTICS

Modern pharmaceutics represents a dynamic and interdisciplinary domain that integrates principles of physical chemistry, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, and regulatory science to optimize drug formulation and delivery. It encompasses the design, development, and evaluation of dosage forms that ensure therapeutic efficacy, patient compliance, and manufacturing feasibility. With the advent of advanced drug delivery systems, nanotechnology, and personalized medicine, modern pharmaceutics has evolved beyond conventional compounding to embrace precision-targeted therapies and controlled-release mechanisms. Emphasis is placed on preformulation studies, excipient compatibility, stability profiling, and the application of Quality by Design (QbD) and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). The field also addresses challenges posed by poorly soluble drugs, biologicals, and gene-based therapies, necessitating innovative formulation strategies. As regulatory expectations grow more stringent, modern pharmaceutics plays a pivotal role in bridging scientific innovation with patient-centric healthcare solutions.
