Drug Formulation & Analytical Techniques


Drug formulation is the process of combining various chemical substances with the active drug to form a final medicinal product. A drug formulation can be given to the patient in various forms like solid, semisolid or liquid. The formulation is given depends upon the patient’s age, sex, and health condition and is specific for particular routes of administration. The analytical techniques In pharmaceuticals is determination of what quantity of the chemical components is mixing to form a drug.
