Medication excipients (often-referred to as inactive ingredients) provide several functions, such as serving as binders, disintegrants, solubilizers, preservatives, and/or assisting with pH adjustment. However, medication excipients may cause adverse events or allergic reactions in some patients. Several regulatory and technological gaps exist that hinder practitioners from preventing adverse events and allergic reactions related to these excipients.  

This podcast is intended to bring awareness to current regulatory and technological gaps associated with managing medication excipient allergies and intolerances, highlight common operational challenges involved with identifying and preventing medication excipient allergic reactions, and provide current “best practices” to address these issues.
