ABSTRACT

There are numerous synthetic polymers available in the field of pharmaceutical formulation, but these polymers have got several drawbacks like toxicity, environmental pollution, side effects, expensive and also found to have poor patient compliance. To overcome all these drawbacks use of natural polymers is widely accepted. These polymers being active ingredients in most of the formulations which enhances the effect of it. In the advanced pharmaceutical world, it has been used in different dosages added with existing and newly invented drugs, to attain the maximum benefit of it. It can be synthetic as well as semi synthetic. In addition to it gums and mucilage play a novel role in the preparation of dosage forms. These articles run around the natural products, that play wide role in the pharmaceutical field and these natural excipients also benefited by being biocompatible with human body, providing nutritional supplements, and costeffective so that the overall production rate is minimized.
