The application of drug delivery is a valuable, cost-effective lifecycle management resource. By infusing drugs with new and innovative therapeutic benefits, drug delivery systems extend products’ profitable lifecycle, giving pharmaceutical companies competitive and financial advantages, and providing patients with improved medications. Formulation development is being used in the creation of new dosage forms for existing products, which not only reduces the cost and time of new drug development, but also helps with patent protection and bypassing existing patents. Today’s culture demands convenience, a major factor determining adherence to a drug therapy. During the past few years, patient convenience-oriented research in the field of drug delivery has resulted in bringing out potential innovative drug-delivery options. As a result of this, various drug-delivery systems, including medicated chewing gum, oral dispersible tablets, medicated lozenges and lollipops, have hit the market and are very popular. These dosage forms offer a highly convenient patient compliance method of dosing medications, not only for special population groups with swallowing difficulties, such as children and elderly, but for general population as well. This book provides valuable insights into different formulation design approaches that are used and can be used to provide new benefits of the existing drug molecules.
