ABSTRACT:
Due to their convenient medication administration, consistent dosage across tablets, stability under a variety of long-term storage conditions, and ability to be manufactured using high-speed compression, labelling, and packaging equipment, tablets are the most often prescribed dosage form. Technological developments and modifications to the typical compressed tablet are intended to improve both acceptability and bioavailability. Numerous more advanced and effective tablet varieties are being developed to provide a delivery strategy that is comparatively easy to administer. Another kind of membrane-controlled release medication delivery system is the osmotic pump system, which functions as follows. The medication is encapsulated in a water-soluble tablet core that will dissolve or suspend the medication when water is present. Additionally, a multi-layer tablet dosage form is more advantageous than a traditional mono-layer tablet. The gastro-retentive dosage form of FDDS enhances bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy while enabling dose reduction due to consistent therapeutic drug levels. Another system is called MADDS. The term "mucoadhesion" refers to the interaction of a bio adhesive polymer, which may be synthetic or natural in origin, with the mucin layer that lines the whole gastrointestinal tract. An optimal targeted drug delivery system is one that only delivers the medication to its sites of action and not to the organs or tissues that are not its intended target. An optimal controlled drug delivery system is one that delivers the medication at a predefined rate, locally or systematically, for a predetermined amount of time. Therefore, the basic principles of tablets, their technologies, and system types with marketed goods of different dosage forms will be examined in this review paper.
