On this page, you will find fine chemical products such as excipients. These can be categorized as colorants, adjuvants, preservatives, thickeners, or flavorings, among others. They are inert substances that provide significant characteristics to pharmaceutical products like medications. Leer Mas

Shaping and differentiating pharmaceutical products

We refer to excipients when talking about components present in a medication or used in its manufacture that are not the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Their main function is to act as carriers, bases, or components of the active ingredient(s). Thus, excipients are responsible for exhibiting distinguishing properties such as appearance, stability, or biopharmaceutical profile. They also facilitate the use, dosage, preservation, and preparation of medications. When we look at the composition of any pharmaceutical product, we notice that it is not composed solely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API); excipients play a prominent role. Thanks to pharmaceutics, we can gain insights that promote the relentless advancement of science. Likewise, we can also distinguish several types of excipients. Below are some of the most common ones found in everyday pharmaceutical products: Diluents. These excipients are responsible for filling the content of a capsule or tablet to achieve a viable presentation for subsequent consumption. Binders. These are excipients that keep the components of a tablet together. Sugars and celluloses are common examples. Coating agents. Coating excipients protect the ingredients of a tablet from the impact of moisture and air. They also make those products that are less pleasant easier to ingest by offering a "better taste." Colorants and flavorings. Finally, these excipients are ideal for improving organoleptic properties and characteristics, i.e., increasing therapeutic compliance.
