Abstract

Modified Release Drug Delivery Systems (MRDDS) are significant advancements in pharmaceutical formulation, enhancing pharmacokinetic modulation and therapeutic efficacy while improving patient compliance. This review assesses literature from 2016 to 2026, highlighting that MRDDS modify drug absorption by delaying Tmax, lowering Cmax, and maintaining therapeutic drug levels, leading to better therapeutic predictability and reduced toxicity. Especially beneficial for chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes, MRDDS support once-daily dosing, improving adherence and patient satisfaction. Although challenges in manufacturing and costs persist, innovations in nanotechnology and personalized medicine are setting the stage for enhanced controlled drug delivery, positioning MRDDS as a key strategy for optimizing long-term pharmacotherapy and improving patient-centered care.
