Pharmaceutical excipients are indispensable components of drug formulations, playing critical roles in enhancing stability, improving bioavailability, and ensuring patient compliance. In pediatric and geriatric populations, the selection of these excipients becomes even more crucial due to their unique physiological and pharmacokinetic profiles, as well as age-specific formulation requirements. This review examines the functions, safety considerations, and potential adverse effects of excipients in these vulnerable groups.

Nitrosamine impurities have been classified as probable human carcinogens for decades. These impurities were reported in water, food, tobacco, pesticides, and plastics but received attention in mid-2018 when N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was reported in valsartan drug products. Subsequently, it was revealed that several small molecule and complex nitrosamine impurities can form in any active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or drug product in which secondary or tertiary amines are present (as API or as impurities) along with a nitrosating agent.
