Part III-Functional/Application Index
Functional/Application Index is a powerful tool for locating the trade names and chemicals based on their function and application. By searching for key functional words related to pharmaceutical additives such as anticaking agents, binders, colorants, disintegrants, emulsifiers, encapsulants, fillers, flavors, gellants, in specific application areas such as tablets, capsules, inhalants, ointments, suppositories, etc., the user is directed to the trade names and/or chemicals that have that specific functional/application attribute. The generic component names are distinguished from the trade names by italic type in the book and color in the software.
