Reliable Pharmaceutical Solutions

Excipients are inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical products. They allow active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) to be transformed into useable forms. Excipients play a key role in facilitating drug delivery, improving solubility and bioavailability, promoting drug integrity and prolonged stability, and enhancing patient treatment acceptance through innovative drug delivery systems. Excipients are also crucial in optimizing the manufacturing process and providing diverse product options with alternative routes of delivery or dosage forms.

Dow excipients participate in many pharmaceutical dosage forms: solid (tablets, gel capsules, suppositories), semi-solid (ointments, soaps, creams), and liquid (syrups, emulsions, suspensions).
