Diverse Dosage Forms: How Eskag Pharma Caters to Your Needs

Importance Of Diverse Dosage Forms In Pharmaceuticals

The world of pharmaceuticals is vast and varied, with countless medications designed to address a myriad of health conditions.

Have you ever wondered why some medications are in tablet form while others come as liquids or injections? Or how does the form of a medication impact its effectiveness? Well, the success of a pharmaceutical product is not solely dependent on the active ingredient but also on the dosage form in which it is delivered. In this blog we will dive deep into why the drugs are manufactured in diverse dosage forms and how the form of a medication impacts its effectiveness and patient experience.

Understanding Different Dosage Forms

Dosage forms are the various physical forms in which medications are manufactured and administered, each designed to optimise the delivery and effectiveness of the active ingredient.

Types Of Dosage Forms In Pharmaceutics:

The classification of dosage forms in pharmaceutics includes several types, each designed for specific therapeutic needs and patient preferences. Understanding these forms helps in appreciating the versatility and precision required in pharmaceutical manufacturing.  

The following are examples of the types of dosage forms in pharmaceutics:

1.Tablets: Solid dosage forms taken orally, often containing one or more active ingredients. They come in various types, such as

• Effervescent- This tablet will dissolve upon contact with water due to the release of gas. For example: Vitamin C tablet.
• Chewable- This tablet is meant to be chewed to make it  down to smaller pieces. Example: multivitamin chewable tablet.
• Sublingual- This tablet is designed to be placed under the tongue so that it can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
• Enteric-coated tablets- A tablet with a special coating that avoids it from dissolving in the stomach but will dissolve in the intestine.

2.Capsules: Edible preparations inside a gelatin casing, filled with powdered or liquid medicines, offering a convenient and effective oral dosage form.

3.Powders: Medicated powders dissolved in water for oral use, like oral rehydration salts, providing an easy-to-administer form, especially for hydration therapy.

4.Lozenges: Preparations that dissolve slowly in the mouth, used for sore throat relief.

5.Liquid dosage forms: These include mixtures, solutions, and suspensions, like cough syrups, providing a suitable option for those who have difficulty swallowing solid forms.

6.Injectable medications: Sterile solutions administered using needles and syringes. They include intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intravenous injections, each serving different therapeutic purposes, such as saline infusions.

7.Implants: Devices implanted in the body to release medications slowly over time, used for treatments like hormone replacement.

8.Topical dosage forms: Lotions, ointments, and creams applied to the skin for local effects, such as itch relief creams.

9.Inhalers: Devices delivering medication directly to the respiratory tract, used for conditions like asthma.

10.Transdermal patch: Transdermal patch is a medicine formulation that is glued to the skin surface so that the medicine is absorbed through the skin into the blood to produce local effects. Example: nicotine patch.

11.Gargle: Used to rinse and treat infections of the mouth. Example: Chlorhexidine mouthwash.

12.Drops: Are liquids containing certain medications and placed into the cavity of the body such as the eyes, nostrils and ears to provide the desired therapeutic effect.
