ABSTRACT

The backbone of any successful robust pharmaceutical product is built on their excipients. Excipients show a vital role in the dosage form design. Excipients do not have therapeutic activity, however, they influence the therapeutic activity of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) through formulation characteristics. Please note inactive ingredients are clearly not reliably inert in their biological activity and thus should not be listed as such. A more suitable and concise term is excipient.
