Overview
Excipients are the substances that are in any pharmaceutical preparation besides the drug. From ingredients that improve drug delivery, to ingredients that improve stability of the drug to ingredients which improve the color and taste of the drug, each component has a key role in pharmaceutical delivery and must be evaluated as such
Why Should You Attend
Excipients must be evaluated with each drug they are included with to ensure that they can be used safely while ensuring the drug can be used as intended. However, there are a number of challenges with excipient testing. Balancing the needs of the various compendials, such as USP, EP and JP, with cGMP can be a challenge. The goal of this webinar is to ensure that you know what needs to be done for each type of testing, the goals of each, and how you can use the various components of testing to reinforce each other to ensure the proper usage of excipients.
