Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) for Compounding

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are the main substances in a medication that produce a desired pharmacological effect. They are responsible for the therapeutic or pharmaceutical activity of the drug. APIs are carefully chosen and tested to treat specific medical conditions. They are the key components responsible for the effectiveness of a medication and are usually derived from natural or synthetic sources. APIs are often highly regulated and are subjected to strict quality control measures to ensure their safety and effectiveness. They may come in different forms such as tablets, capsules, injections, or ointments and they play a critical role in the development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products.
