Fiedler - Encyclopedia of Excipients is an unique database on excipients used in pharmacy, cosmetics and related fields. It offers more than 12 000 entries covering all excipients used in dosage forms. All monographs follow the same scheme:

• Name of the monograph
• Companies producing the excipient
• Names: Pharmacopoeias, INN, INCI and chemical names, synonyms and trademarks, CAS/EINECS No., chemical structure
• Properties: Appearance, solubility and density
• Applications: Main uses in pharmacy and cosmetics, illustrated by examples
• Toxicology: Basic data on toxicology focusing on review-articles
• References with broad lLiterature citations of all articles of interest.

A manufacturer’s directory gives the full address, telephone- and fax-no, as well as Internet- and e-mail-address.

In 2010 the “Fiedler - Encyclopedia of Excipients” was taken over by Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft Stuttgart.
