Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) for Compounding

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are the biologically active components in medications that produce the intended effects to treat various health conditions. APIs are used in drug manufacturing to target specific ailments such as infections, chronic diseases, and acute conditions. Their role is to interact with the body to prevent, diagnose, treat, or relieve symptoms of illnesses. In producing medications, APIs are combined with inactive ingredients, known as excipients, which help deliver the drug in the right form and ensure stability and safety. The quality, purity, and strength of APIs are crucial for the efficacy of pharmaceutical products.
