Pharmaceutical Excipients

Pharmaceutical excipients are inactive substances included in medication formulations to support delivery, stability, and usability. They do not have medicinal effects themselves but serve important roles such as ensuring the drug dissolves properly, enhancing taste, aiding in manufacturing, or preserving the medication's shelf life. Examples include binders, fillers, coatings, and preservatives. These excipients are carefully selected and tested for safety, helping to ensure that the active ingredients work effectively while making the medication easier and more pleasant to take.
