#api and intermediates

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, understanding API and Intermediates is important for supplier selection, production planning, quality control, and regulatory awareness. APIs are the active substances used in medicines, while pharmaceutical intermediates are chemical compounds formed during API synthesis. This distinction helps manufacturers and procurement teams make informed decisions when evaluating raw materials, process requirements, and documentation needs.
