Excipient. An excipient is generally a pharmacologically inactive substance formulated with the active ingredient of a medication. Excipients are commonly used to bulk up formulations that contain potent active ingredients, to allow convenient and accurate dispensation of a drug substance when producing a dosage form.
Excipients or inactive ingredients are supposed to be inert, which means they don't have any effect on you, but some can cause symptoms by themselvesâ and potentially allergic reactionsâor interact with the drug's active ingredients to cause unexpected results.
