Pharmaceutical excipients are the substances which are added along with the active pharmaceutical ingredient to help easy delivery of drug at target site. Excipients do not have direct therapeutical action but to aid the manufacturing process, to protect, support or enhance stability, or for bioavailability or patient acceptability. The excipients are inert and simple to active and complex substances that can be difficult to characterize. They act as the carrier (vehicle or basis) or as a component of the carrier of the active substances. It plays vital role in drug delivery within the body. It assist in product identification, and enhance any attribute of the overall safety. Purpose of addition of excipients are long term stabilization of formulations.
