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?
In: Chemistry
It depends on the tablet specifically but like looking at aspirin tablets the main inactive ingredients are Carnauba Wax and corn starch. For liquid medicines the main inactive ingredient would likely be water or something to act as a solvent to the medication (alcohol can be another such solvent).
So it depends on the medication specifically.
