One of the main instruments for managing the frequency of drug liberation from formulations has been polymers. Numerous uses of polymers in pharmaceuticals the delivery has been made possible by their special qualities, which no other material has yet to provide. The natural polymer family contains polymers with many derivates able group a broad variety of molecular mass, different chemical formulas, minimal toxicity, biodegradability, along with substantial stability, making it very appealing for drug delivery.In recent decades, numerous natural gums and mucilages have been investigated as macromolecules for prolonged medication delivery and control. The two main elements of any pharmaceutical formulation are the active ingredientaid in the manufacturing of dosage forms and improve their physicochemical properties.Polymers play a crucial role as excipients in every type of dosage form.The ability of polymers to influence the release of the drug should be stable, safe to use, and economically compatible etc. They can be categorized generally divided into three categories: synthetic, semi-synthetic, and natural, in oral drug delivery systems, natural polymers are generally used as stabilizing agentsprotective, taste-mapping, and rate-controlling agents. Certain polymers are utilised to provide consistent drug delivery, lower dosage frequency, and boostthe efficacy of the drug by targeting the specific area of action. Natural polymers are increasingly used by manufacturers due to the numerous short comings in the drug release as well as toxic effects of synthetic polymers. As they are polysaccharides, natural polymers do not have adverse side effects and are biocompatible. There are several applications for natural polymers in pharmacy. They find larger applications when compared to synthetic polymers, as they have common applications in food and cosmetology industries.

Key Words: Polymers, toxicity, biodegradability, macromolecules, polysaccharides,
