Stabilizers – Help in preventing microbial spoilage as well as breakdown of active ingrediants.

Diluents• Diluents are finely powdered, inner, solid

substances. That can be mixed with the medicaments to bring up the bulk volume of tablets. e.g. Sugar, Dextrose, Lactose

Binding agents

• Binding agents use for the conversion of finely powdered materials into granules.

e.g. Acacia, Gum tragacanth, Starch

3. Granulating agents.

• Convert particles in to granules forms.

eg: Water, Alcohol

4. Disintegrating agents

• Added to a tablet formation to facilitate its breaking or disintegration when it contacts with the water in the GIT.

eg: Maize starch, Potato starch, Tartaric acid
