What Is an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)?
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients i.e., API refers to an active ingredient that is contained in the medication. For instance, the active ingredient for relieving pain is incorporated in the painkiller. It is called API. Even its small amount has a powerful impact, so only a mere part of this active ingredient is contained in the medicine. Moreover, you will find its amount and name contained in the medication on the OTC (over-the-counter) drugs’ package.
