Title: Excipients: The Unsung Heroes in Addressing Bioavailability and Quality Challenges
Location: Ryman Hall Stage 1
Excipients, often overshadowed by active pharmaceutical ingredients, are indispensable in the formulation of high-quality drug products. They play a pivotal role in overcoming the barriers posed by poorly soluble and poorly permeable drugs, significantly improving bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Despite their critical contributions from solubilization and stabilization to controlled release, the importance of excipients remains under-recognized in the broader pharmaceutical landscape. This presentation will delve into the multifaceted functions of excipients, emphasizing their impact on drug delivery systems and patient outcomes.
