What are the inactive ingredients in medications that account for their weight and size?

I take a 2mg vitamin supplement tablet and a 150mg tablet of a medication I’m on. The vitamin supplement tablet is actually a bit bigger so I’m wondering what else is in it, what accounts for its weight and size?

With a grain of salt, I’m probably not as reliable as most answerers I’ve seen on this sub.

I believe by the description given you’re using capsule and compressed pills? Which could be (in addition to the other answers) part of the weight difference, as one pill could be much more dense and the other could contain plenty of empty space.

Just wanted to add a possibility
