Did you know that the inactive ingredients in medicines are important to a drug’s safety and efficacy? Inactive ingredients, also known as excipients, can make up the majority of a medicine’s composition – up to 90 percent of a medicine’s total ingredients. Constituting such a significant portion of a medicine's total ingredients – and such important roles in a drug’s function – it’s no wonder that quality issues or shortages in excipients can lead to supply chain disruptions, drug shortages, and adverse patient outcomes. Read this article to learn more about USP's policy recommendations to help ensure medicine quality and supply chain resilience ⤵
