AB  - Zeolites belong to aluminosilicate microporous solids, with strong and diverse catalytic
activity, which makes them applicable in almost every kind of industrial process, particularly thanks
to their eco-friendly profile. Another crucial characteristic of zeolites is their tremendous adsorption
capability. Therefore, it is self-evident that the widespread use of zeolites is in environmental
protection, based primarily on the adsorption capacity of substances potentially harmful to the
environment, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, or other industry pollutants. On the other hand,
zeolites are also recognized as drug delivery systems (DDS) carriers for numerous pharmacologically
active agents. The enhanced bioactive ability of DDS zeolite as a drug carrying nanoplatform is
confirmed, making this system more specific and efficient, compared to the drug itself. These two
applications of zeolite, in fact, illustrate the importance of (ir)reversibility of the adsorption process.
This review gives deep insight into the balance and dynamics that are established during that
process, i.e., the interaction between zeolites and pharmaceuticals, helping scientists to expand their
knowledge necessarily for a more effective application of the adsorption phenomenon of zeolites.
