Excipients are important in the composition of drugs and are the most important requirements for maintaining
the stability of drug form, dosage, and physicochemical parameters. Excipients act as protective agents,
bulking agents and can also be used to improve bioavailability of drugs in some instances Auxiliary
substances included in the composition of medicines are classified as natural, animal, synthetic and
semisynthetic. Excipients can become inactive due to chemical, microbiological and physiological effects.
Commonly used pharmaceutical excipients are fillers, stabilizers, preservatives, flavor and aroma modifiers,
binders, disintegrants, lubricants, lubricants, solvents, and coating agents. Excipients can be considered as
indispensible component of medicinal products and in most of the formulations they are present in greater
proportion with regards to active pharmaceutical ingredient, as it forms the bulk of the formulation it is
always necessary to select an excipient which satisfies the ideal properties for a particular excipient. In this
review, materials about coating agents widely used in pharmaceutical practice were compiled from electronic
databases such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, and other scientific web pages, using keywords such as Drug
excipient interaction, Stability in Oral Solid, and Excipient. .

The incorporation of botanical elements such as Inula helenium L., Astragalus mongolicus Bge.,
Iris tenuifolia Pall., Ribes diacanthum Pall., and Oxytropis pseudoglandulosa Grubov plays a pivotal role in the formulation of immune-enhancing and kidney-protective Mongolian traditional medicines. These herbal constituents bear rich historical significance in traditional remedies. Ensuring the purity of these herbs is a vital stride in the production of efficacious supplements and medications. Thus, meticulous decontamination of microorganisms assumes paramount importance. The selection of an appropriate sterilization method is important for manufacturers. Sterilization methods divide within three main categories: thermal, chemical, and radiation. This spectrum encompasses many techniques, ranging from moist heat and dry heat to gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide, ozone, and UV treatment. This comprehensive review discusses the efficacy of gamma irradiation, dry heat, moist heat, and chemical treatments, presenting a comparative analysis of their merits. Practically, heat sterilization emerges as a simple and cost-efficient choice. The utilization of an autoclave, subjecting powdered spice paprika to temperatures between 108-125°C for 120 seconds, yielded a substantial reduction in microbial load without compromising the integral bioactive compounds. Gamma
irradiation, a common practice in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, stands as another choice in the area of sterilization techniques. Beyond sterilization, upholding rigorous standards of sanitation and hygiene remains a key in the preparations of medicinal plants.
