ACTIVE INGREDIENT
An ingredient of a dosage form other than the API.
EXCIPIENT
Descriptive term for a dosage form in which no deliberate effort has been made to modify the release rate of the API

A release pattern of the active ingredient from the dosage form that has been deliberately changed from that of the conventional dosage form.
MODIFIED RELEASE
It includes accelerated release, delayed release, extended release, and targeted release.
MODIFIED RELEASE
Modern technology, distributed with or as a part of a drug product that allows for the uniform release or targeting of drugs to the body.
DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS
Intimate mixtures of dry, finely divided drugs or chemicals that may be intended for internal (oral) or external (topical) use.

EFFERVESCENT GRANULES
A solid dosage form in which the drug is enclosed within a hard or soft soluble container or shell.
CAPSULES
A solid dosage form in the shape of a small sphere.
BEADS OR PELLETS
The dosage form generally contains multiple beads.
BEADS OR PELLETS
Solid oral dosage forms that are designed to dissolve or disintegrate slowly in the mouth
LOZENGES
Flavored and sweetened base
LOZENGES
are lozenges type of oral solid dosage form with a short stick inserted into it which produces local/systemic effect.
LOLLIPOPS
A dosage form in which the base consists of a pliable material that when chewed, releases the API into the oral cavity.
GUM

ORALLY DISINTEGRATING TABLET
A tablet that is formulated so as to make the contained medication available over an extended period of time.
EXTENTED RELEASE TABLETS
A tablet with a coating that is intended to postpone the release of the medication until the tablet has passed through the stomach.
DELAYED RELEASE TABLETS
A solid dosage form containing mixtures of acids and sodium bicarbonate, which release carbon dioxide when dissolved in water; it is intended to be dissolved or dispersed in water before administration.
EFFERVESCENT TABLET
