Pressures Mount<br />
as Industry Urges<br />
Excipient Regs<br />
E xcipients need to be regulated if the development<br />
of drugs is to move forward in the future,says one<br />
senior pharma executive.<br />
Speaking at a breakfast meeting on Tuesday,Arnulf<br />
Heubner,senior director at Merck Darmstadt,explained<br />
there were increasing pressures for good quality,safety<br />
and efficacy of excipients,and the need for stronger<br />
regulation and certification.<br />
Currently,excipients make up about 90% of the bulk of<br />
drugs,with APIs making up just 10%.Yet,despite this<br />
majority,excipients are not regulated other than through<br />
the pharmacopoeia that only measures 10-20 criteria,he<br />
