Pharmaceutical excipients are inert substances that are combined with active pharmaceutical ingredients to prepare the final dosage of drugs, other than the pharmacologically active drug, which are included in the manufacturing process. These drugs are present in the pharmaceutical product dosage form and are feasible, cost-effective, stable for handling and inert.
The excipients provides to facilitate drug absorption, bulk to the formulation, provide stability and prevent from denaturation. Excipients are widely used in a variety of medicinal products such as tablets, implants, oral liquids, capsules, transdermal patches, and inhalers and in drug formulation to provide long-term stability, add bulkiness to solid formulations and facilitate drug absorption. They also enhance the overall safety or functionality of the product during storage or use.
