View by manufacturing method
Many additives (plasticizers, stabilizers, preservatives, surfactants) are obtained through organic synthesis from petrochemical or plant-based raw materials, followed by purification, filtration, and recrystallization. Enzymes, sugars, amino acids, and polysaccharides (e.g., xanthan gum and hyaluronic acid) are produced by microbiological fermentation in bioreactors, followed by isolation and drying. Starch, cellulose, gelatin, lactose, and oils are isolated from natural sources through extraction, hydrolysis, precipitation, and purification. Milling, granulation, microencapsulation, and drying are used to produce powders and granules with desired properties. All additives undergo multi-stage purification, purity testing, sterilization, and certification according to pharmacopoeial standards.

Type by purpose
Pharmaceutical additives (excipients) are widely used in the production of dosage forms to improve their properties and effectiveness. Key applications include: Tablets and capsules – fillers, binders, disintegrating agents, and lubricants ensure the desired shape, strength, disintegration rate, and release of the active ingredient. Syrups and solutions – stabilizers, preservatives, and flavorings improve taste, prevent decomposition, and prevent microbial growth. Ointments and creams – emulsifiers, thickeners, and humectants create consistency and improve drug penetration through the skin. Injectables – buffer systems and isotonic additives ensure the safety and stability of solutions. Biopharmaceuticals – additives are used to stabilize proteins, vaccines, and biopharmaceuticals.
