The pH is important in aqueous, drug-product formulation, especially since it involves drug solubility, activity, absorption, stability, sorption and patient comfort. The pH is also related to certain physical characteristics, such as the viscosity of some polymers used as gel-forming agents and in suspensions. The pH is adjusted by using acidifying and alkalizing agents. Acidifying agents are used in a formulation to lower the pH and alkalizing agents are used to increase the pH.
