Determining the amount of medication used is essential for correctly managing treatment systems. The unauthorized use of drugs and the importance of determining the absorbed and required dose of drugs in target organs are essential factors that justify the design of new drug monitoring systems. Electrochemical sensors and biosensors based on nanomaterials have been developed for drug monitoring in the past few years. The use of nanomaterials to optimize the analyte detection process and facilitate electron transfer in electrochemical processes has enhanced intermolecular interactions and increased diagnostic sensitivity. Considering this review, in the first part, the evaluation of cancer drugs is examined, which can be used to determine the exact dose of the drug required in different stages of cancer. Accurate monitoring of cancer drugs can increase patient life expectancy, reduce side effects, and increase economic savings. In the next section, sensors and biosensors designed for antibiotics are examined. Accurate measurement of antibiotics, determining the effectiveness of the dose in controlling infections, and preventing antibiotic resistance are possible with the help of these drug diagnostic platforms. In the next part, the diagnosis of different hormones is considered. Abnormal amounts [low/high] of hormones cause multiple physiological complications and various disabilities. Therefore, accurate determination of hormone levels can effectively treat hormonal changes. In the last section, other drugs, including drugs and analgesics and other drugs for which the use of electrochemical diagnostic platforms can significantly help the drug distribution system and social health system.
