Abstract: The present analysis study emphasizes the polymers that are used to deliver therapeutic
agents through pharmaceutical drugs. Among such dosage forms are tablets, patches, cassettes,
films, semi-solids, and powders. The use of biodegradable polymers is becoming more
and more common. They can degrade into non-toxic monomers, and, more significantly, they
can be used to make controlled-release devices that release medications at a steady rate. Natural
polymers may facilitate the distribution of medications at predetermined rates. Their readily
available nature and advantageous physico-chemical characteristics make them a good candidate
for use in drug delivery systems. Due to their well-established biocompatibility and biodegradability,
biodegradable polymers possess extensive application within the biomedical field. In the
biomedical sector, polymers are typically utilized as implants because of their ability to provide
long-term capabilities. These advancements help to lessen adverse effects and other side effects
while simultaneously increasing the effectiveness of healthcare. The suffering that the sick endure.
Polymers are mainly used to extend the release period of pharmaceuticals and shield them
against physiological circumstances. The polymer releases medication to promote swelling,
breakdown, and diffusion. The review also presents mucoadhesive functions and characteristics.
Systems for delivering medications already make use of plant-based polymers.
