Abstract
The present analysis study emphasizes the polymers that are used to deliver therapeutic agents through pharmaceutical drugs. Among such dosage forms are tablets, patches, cassettes, films, semi-solids, and powders. The use of biodegradable polymers is becoming more and more common. They can degrade into non-toxic monomers, and, more significantly, they can be used to make controlled-release devices that release medications at a steady rate. Natural polymers may facilitate the distribution of medications at predetermined rates. Their readily available nature and advantageous physico-chemical characteristics make them a good candidate for use in drug delivery systems. Due to their well-established biocompatibility and biodegradability, biodegradable polymers possess extensive application within the biomedical field. In the biomedical sector, polymers are typically utilized as implants because of their ability to provide long-term capabilities. These advancements help to lessen adverse effects and other side effects while simultaneously increasing the effectiveness of healthcare. The suffering that the sick endure. Polymers are mainly used to extend the release period of pharmaceuticals and shield them against physiological circumstances. The polymer releases medication to promote swelling, breakdown, and diffusion. The review also presents mucoadhesive functions and characteristics. Systems for delivering medications already make use of plant-based polymers.
