Advance in Development of Patient-Centric Dosage Form, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

It is established that the medication acceptability of dosage forms could influence patient compliance and treatment efficacy and safety. Currently, research focuses on developing patient-centric formulations as personalized dosage forms that provide benefits for individual patient needs. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), patient-centric formulations are becoming essential for public health when dealing with long-term diseases treated with multiple drugs. However, data related to the understanding of dosage-form-related issues in medication acceptability are lacking. Therefore, the development of advanced technologies has resulted in significant efforts to develop customizable dosage forms.

Given that the first and second volumes of this Special Issue have received widespread scholarly attention, we hereby open its third volume. The focus of this Special Issue of Pharmaceutics will be on assessing and identifying dosage-form-related issues in medication acceptability and recent advances in the development of effective strategies to produce patient-centric dosage forms to address these problems. This Special Issue will accept both reviews and research articles.
