It is estimated that more than 90% of drugs need a pharmaceutical excipient to be formulated in an administrable form. Not all drugs are created equal. Each requires its own manufacture and excipients to be formulated in a drug product.
The knowledge about pharmaceutical excipients and their specific roles and differences in formulation and drug delivery is still not at the level needed. There are different reasons for this including
- not enough time available during the study
- trial and error approach
- using what has worked for previous formulations
- restrictions slowing down integration alternative or new excipients in the industry
- scepticism on new excipients
- role changes within the industry and waste range of formulation possibilities
- not enough exchange between manufacturer and user “Chinese Wall”
- Key data of excipient characteristics and variations kept at the manufacturer
- Use of excipient not shared with manufacturer to ensure correct use or type of excipient
Pharma Excipients has the aim of sharing information on excipients and their use in formulation development. It facilitates communication between manufacturers and users.
What does this mean for Academia?
Pharma Excipients enables an open access information hub for knowhow on excipients and their sourcing. This shortens searching and sourcing time for students and researchers also from industry.
Pharma Excipients shares contemporary studies in our daily blog reaching a worldwide audience with full integration of the main social media channels. With this we add value to the work and optimize sharing with between academia and industry.
Pharma Excipients deepens the knowledge on pharmaceutical excipients and their use in formulation and manufacturing with our excipients basics.
