Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
What it is: The "hero" ingredient in a drug responsible for its therapeutic effect.
Example: Paracetamol in a pain-relief tablet is the API.
Why it matters: APIs determine what the drug is used for, like pain relief, infection control, or lowering blood pressure.
Fun fact: APIs are made through chemical synthesis or fermentation.
2/13
Excipients
What they are: The "sidekicks" that help the API do its job. They are inactive ingredients.
Examples:
Binders: Hold tablets together (e.g., starch).
Preservatives: Prevent spoilage (e.g., benzyl alcohol).
Sweeteners: Improve taste (e.g., sucrose).
Role: They ensure stability, ease of use, and proper delivery of the API.

Dossier
What it is: A detailed document submitted to drug regulators to prove a drug is safe, effective, and high-quality.
Includes:
Drug development process.
Clinical trial results.
Manufacturing details.
Why it matters: Without a dossier, a company cannot get approval to sell a drug in any market.
