[ik-sip-ee-uhnt]
- noun
- pharmacology
- a substance used to bind the contents of a pill or tablet.
I've heard people say the generic version of a brand-name drug doesn't work the same which seems illogical since the generic equivalent* uses the same chemical as the original brand; however, it is not uncommon for the excipients to be different which could result in a difference.
* a generic therapeutic alternative is a drug with different chemicals but intended to have the same effect
