Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

About

A reference site about active pharmaceutical ingredients: what each substance is, the standards it is made to, and how that differs between markets. Updated continuously, and independent of any supplier.

On this page

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients is a reference site about the substances that do the actual work inside a medicine. It is written for people who need the facts straight: procurement and quality staff, students, researchers, and anyone trying to understand what is in a product and how it is regulated.

Who we are

This site is published by SEO Israel Technologies Ltd., a company that builds and operates a network of independent reference sites alongside its client work. This one is the part of that network devoted to pharmaceutical ingredients. It is maintained continuously rather than published once and left alone.

What you will find here

  • Ingredient pages - what a substance is, the class it belongs to, and what it is used for
  • Regulatory and manufacturing context - the standards an ingredient is produced to, and why they differ between markets
  • Plain explanations - technical material written so that a non-specialist can follow it
  • Full accessibility - the site is built to WCAG 2.1 Level AA so it can be read with a screen reader or by keyboard alone

Our goal

Our goal is to make accurate, current and specific information about active pharmaceutical ingredients easy to reach. Not to sell a product, and not to advise on treatment. Where a fact depends on the market or on the manufacturer, we say so rather than flattening it into a single answer.

Our values

  • Accuracy and currency - pages are revised when the underlying fact changes, and corrections are made as soon as we learn of an error
  • Objectivity - no ingredient is promoted, and no supplier pays for placement
  • Transparency about sources - where a claim rests on a regulatory document or a manufacturer specification, the source is named so you can check it yourself
