FORMULATION
Formulations are the end-products of the medicine manufacturing process, and can take the form of tablets, capsules, injectables or syrups, and can be administered directly to patients. Solution formulations that are used for injectable dosage forms generally have fewer inactive ingredients—such as water, cosolvents, buffering agents, and pH-adjusting agents. As a result, they are much simpler to formulate compared to some of the semisolid formulations used for topical administration.
