Formulation Science

Meaning

Formulation Science is the multidisciplinary scientific field dedicated to designing the physical and chemical composition of a therapeutic product, ensuring its stability, patient acceptability, and optimal delivery to the intended biological target. This discipline moves beyond the active pharmaceutical ingredient itself, focusing on how the drug is presented, whether as a tablet, cream, injectable solution, or transdermal patch. Effective formulation is paramount for achieving consistent and predictable hormonal effects.
