Pharmaceutical Formulations

In medical terminology, pharmaceutical formulations refer to the process in which various kinds of chemical substances and active drugs are combined to produce a final medicinal product. The pharmaceutical formulations process involves the entire process of a how a drug is developed and how it is finally accepted by the patient. For orally taking drugs, the drug is in the form of a tablet or capsule, including syrups, ointments, vaccines. While preparing any tablet or capsule, not only should it comprise the required drug but also variety of other substances. Formulations ensure that the drug is compatible with these other substances. In the pharmaceutical drug formulations, the different physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of a drug are considered so as to know what other ingredients should be used in the preparation. The various factors like polymorphism, particle size, pH, and solubility are all considered while formulating the drug, besides considering the appearance of the tablet.
