Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market
Pharmaceutical excipients are combined with active pharmaceutical ingredients to produce the final dosage form of the drugs. The excipients provide bulkiness to formulation, facilitates absorption of the drug, provides stability and prevent from the drugs from denaturation. Pharmaceutical excipients are cost effective, stable, feasible for handling, and inert in the nature. The major advantages of using excipients are improving property of wetting, increase bulkiness of drug, provides stability, and improves the organoleptic properties of the drug. Excipients are used in a different medicinal products like capsules, tablets, oral liquids, inhalers, implants and injections among others.
