Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms

Pharmaceutical dosage forms are the different ways medicines are prepared for use, ensuring they deliver the correct amount of drug effectively and safely. These include tablets, capsules, liquids, patches, injections, and ointments, each designed to optimize absorption, stability, and convenience based on the medication and patient needs. The choice of form affects how quickly a drug works, how long it lasts, and how easy it is to administer. Properly designed dosage forms help ensure patients receive the proper dose, minimize side effects, and improve overall treatment outcomes.
