Pharmaceutical excipients are critical components of a pharmaceutical dosage form, ensuring drug safety and efficacy. Therefore, compatibility with API, adjacent excipients and dosage form are essential factors that need to be considered while selecting an excipient. Various types of excipients are used in a pharmaceutical formulations. This includes binders, diluents, glidents, disintegrants, emulsifiers, compressing agents, taste masking agents, lubricants, coating agents, sweeteners, and vehicles (base). Use of excipients is high in oral and topical dosage forms compared to parenteral. These excipients are extracted from different sources such as plant, animals, and minerals or are synthetically developed. The International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC), formed in 1991, focuses on harmonizing manufacturing standards for pharmaceutical excipients globally. Market Dynamics Demand for high-quality excipients is more in developed economies, while affo...
