The Importance of Pharmaceutical Excipients and Interactions of Drug Substances with Excipients and Food Products

Abstract

Dosage forms are accompanied with excipients to facilitate their production, administration, or absorption. Excipients can begin, propagate, or engage in chemical or physical interactions with medicinal components, even if they may appear to have no pharmacological effect. This can make a medication less effective. Not every recipient of an award is exceptionally well-groomed. It is essential to comprehend the manufacturing process of excipients, especially the most widely used ones, in order to identify possible interactions between trace components and active pharmaceutical substances. The amount of the active component that is accessible for therapeutic effect may be reduced due to degradation brought on by chemical interactions. Physical interactions can affect the rate of dissolution, dosage homogeneity, or convenience of administration.
