The form of the completed pharmaceutical product, e.g. tablet, capsule, injection, elixir, suppository. Dosage form can have a significant effect on the onset, duration and intensity of the pharmacological action of a drug.

This release rate affects its intrinsic absorption pattern and therefore, the bioavailability of the drug.
