About other active pharmaceutical ingredients

This group collects APIs that do not fit the larger therapeutic classes. It covers dermatology actives such as retinoids, keratolytics and antipsoriatics, ophthalmic drugs including glaucoma treatments, urology drugs for overactive bladder and erectile dysfunction, bone health drugs such as the bisphosphonates, gout treatments, antidotes and chelating agents, diagnostic and contrast agents, and other specialised actives.

Volumes vary from multi-tonne generics such as alendronate or allopurinol to small batches of contrast agents and radiopharmaceutical precursors. Some products are supplied as sterile grades for ophthalmic or injectable use, and contrast agents need very high purity and low endotoxin levels because of the large doses given to patients.

As with any API, confirm the pharmacopoeia grade, the salt or hydrate form, related substances and residual solvents, and the availability of a drug master file or certificate of suitability for your market. For newer products, check patent status in your country. Where a substance has both a drug use and an industrial use, such as some chelating agents, make sure the grade and documentation match a pharmaceutical application.
