Pharmaceuticals or pharmaceutical products are produced in different forms such as solid (tablet, capsule, and powder), liquid (syrup, solutions, and injection liquids), and semisolid (cream, lotions, and pastes). These products contain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), also known as drugs. The APIs, in combinations or individually, are mixed with excipients to product determined quantity of any particular dosage form. Therapeutic drugs are used to treat bacterial and viral diseases as well as dermatological, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, orthopaedic, neurological, and other indications and disorders.

Neurology is the division of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of disorders related to the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities; it comprises central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, and the PNS consists of sensory receptors such as eyes, ears, and skin. The neurological pharmaceuticals are categorized into neuromuscular drugs (skeletal muscle relaxants, neuromuscular blocking drugs, neurologic (antiparkinsonian, anticonvulsant, antimigraine), psychotropic drugs (sedatives and hypnotic drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, antidepressants and mood stabilizers, antipsychotic drugs, and stimulants), and others. These drugs are available in different dosage forms such as tablets and injections, and are distributed through hospital, retail, and online pharmacies. The expansion of pharmaceutical distributions channel network and increasing prevalence of neurological disorders are the key factors driving the market for neurological pharmaceuticals.
