Adulterated

Definition of Adulterated from the PharmacyDictionary.in

Adulterated

The term “adulterated” refers to a substance that has been made impure by the addition of a foreign or inferior substance. This process of adulteration can significantly alter the quality, efficacy, and safety of the original substance. In the context of pharmaceuticals, an adulterated drug may contain impurities or contaminants, have incorrect or insufficient active ingredients, or be made under conditions that do not meet the required manufacturing standards. Such adulteration is illegal and poses serious health risks. Therefore, regulatory authorities like the FDA strictly monitor and regulate the production and distribution of pharmaceuticals to prevent adulteration.
