The application of drug delivery is a valuable  cost-effective lifecycle management resource.
By endowing drugs with new and innovative therapeutic benefits  drug delivery systems extend
products' profitable lifecycle  giving pharmaceutical companies competitive and financial
advantages  and providing patients with improved medications. Formulation development is now
being used to create new dosage forms for existing products  which not only reduces the time
and expense involved in new drug development  but also helps with regard to patent protection
and bypassing existing patents. Today's culture demands convenience  a major factor determining
adherence to drug therapy. Over the past few years  patient convenience-oriented research in
the field of drug delivery has yielded a range of innovative drug-delivery options. As a result
various drug-delivery systems  including medicated chewing gums  oral dispersible tablets 
medicated lozenges and lollipops  have now hit the market and are very popular. These dosage
forms offer a highly convenient way to dose medications  not only for special population groups
with swallowing difficulties  such as children and the elderly  but for the general populace as
well. This book provides valuable insights into a number of formulation design approaches that
are currently being used  or could be used  to provide new benefits from existing drug
molecules.
