Abstract

In the field of pharmaceuticals, enhancing drug bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy is crucial in ensuring the success of a drug formulation. Various formulation strategies have been developed to improve the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs in the body. This essay explores some of the key strategies utilized in pharmaceutical formulation for enhancing drug bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. The methods used to achieve these, the results obtained from these approaches, and the implications for drug development are discussed. Finally, the essay concludes with a summary of the importance of these strategies in the pharmaceutical industry.
