The qualities of a formulation are affected by excipients, which are an important aspect in a dosage form. Excipients were once thought to be inactive components; however, it has now been discovered that they can have substantial negative effects. Many countries have experienced disasters in the past as a result of undiscovered excipient toxicity and mistreatment of excipients during transit. These tragedies call regulators' attention to the quality of excipients. Excipients can cause a variety of negative effects, such as hypersensitivity and allergies. When it comes to a novel excipient, preclinical research is much more important. New chemical excipients will be regulated in the same way as new APIs, according to the European Union (EU) directive 75/318/EEC. Within the EU, a regulatory dossier is necessary for any novel excipient (s). Excipients are employed as protecting agents, bulking agents, and in rare cases, to improve medication absorption. The International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC) was founded in 1991 as a trade group that brought together excipient manufacturers and their pharmaceutical formulation clients.
