Abstract :

Artificial intelligence [AI] has become a transformative force in the pharmaceutical sector, revolutionizing drug discovery, clinical decision-making, and healthcare delivery. AI applications in pharmacy include drug development, personalized medicine, formulation, and pharmacovigilance. With the ability to analyze vast datasets, AI models enhance predictive accuracy for pharmacokinetics, therapeutic outcomes, and dosing guidelines, thereby improving patient care and operational efficiency. The integration of AI in clinical and hospital pharmacy enables automation, error reduction, and improved healthcare accessibility. However, challenges such as data privacy, ethical concerns, and limited awareness hinder its widespread adoption. Addressing these barriers through targeted strategies and regulatory frameworks is essential to fully realize AI’s potential in modern pharmacy practice.
