What are excipients in pharmaceuticals?

Excipients are used to improve active ingredient stability and solubility and act as a bulking agent in many medicinal applications. Some common pharmaceutical excipients include cellulosics like HPMC, starches, stearates, and chelating agents.

What are common pharmaceutical supply chain issues?

The most common supply chain challenge facing pharmaceutical manufacturers is global manufacturing. According to one study, there’s no domestic source for more than 80% of APIs. Tilley’s custom formulation and growing warehousing facilities reduce the risk of losing access to critical ingredients.

What are inactive pharmaceutical ingredients?

Inactive pharmaceutical ingredients are categorized as excipients. In pharmaceutics, inactive ingredients do not contribute to therapeutic effects but play a vital role in improving API stability, bioavailability, texture, and flavor characteristics.

What pharmaceutical suppliers do you work with?

Tilley Distribution has spent decades building strong relationships with chemical-pharmaceutical companies and suppliers. See the Our Suppliers page for a complete list of our pharmaceutical suppliers.

What are solvents in pharmaceuticals?

Solvents are used primarily in pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing to extract APIs from natural sources. They also dissolve natural impurities, aid in the crystallization process during formulation, and enhance the bioavailability of certain drugs. Some common pharmaceutical solvents include benzene, acetone, ethanol, and diethyl ether.
