The conventional aim of pharmaceutics is becoming outdated due to developments in chronobiology and chrono pharmacology, as well as global market restrictions. The availability of suitable technologies could be the main constraint in the creation of drug delivery systems that complement the circadian rhythm. The interest in the systematic study of the chronobiology is relatively recent and has developed rapidly in the last two decades. Chronobiology exhibit conceptual biological periodicity may conserve in the genomes of shift workers. Authors stated that the shift work affects our biological and psychological functioning with reference to regarding health and diseases. Author review the accessible literature concerning the chronobiology and chrono pharmacology with reference to consequences and management of shift work. Although shift work is advantageous for all those workplaces that operate around the clock, the most unfortunate part is that it takes its toll on employees and their families.
