It seems like the vast majority of medication pills that I’ve seen are naturally white, unless they’re coated of course. Why aren’t any of them (or so few) other colors like green for example?
In: Chemistry
Only a small proportion of what goes into a pill is the actual drug itself, the rest is made up of bulking agents and binders (to make it big enough to manufacture, package, dispense and easily swallow), the majority of which are white.
On top of that, a lot of small molecule drugs are white or straw coloured powders in the crystalline form, too.
