Excipients Biopharmaceuticals

Functions of exipients used for Biopharmaceuticals (mainly parenterals, some are used in cases of pulmonary administration systems). Questions: The ones with the Start (*) were discussed in the lecture, the others are listed in the ingredients list of the exercises. The numbers in the brackets idicates the number of functions listed in the answer, which relate to the excipient asked about. Answers: The answers were either discussed in lecture (*) or can be found in the handbook of excipents.
