Study Notes

Pharmaceutical Dosage Form

Excipients play a crucial role in a pharmaceutical dosage form as they help to stabilize the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), enhance bioavailability, and improve the overall appearance and texture of the final product.

Ideal Dosage Form Characteristics

An ideal dosage form should have characteristics such as purity, potency, stability, and bioavailability, but NOT antimicrobial properties.

Regulatory Agencies

The primary function of regulatory agencies in the context of pharmaceutical sciences is to ensure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products.

Pharmaceutical Excipients

Pharmaceutical excipients primarily ensure the stability, quality, and performance of a dosage form.

Combining Drug with Other Ingredients

The main purpose of combining the drug with other ingredients in a unique formulation is to create a dosage form that is safe, effective, and easy to use.
