Description	Castor oil is commonly used as a pharmaceutical excipient due to its versatile properties, including its ability to act as a solubilizing agent, lubricant, and stabilizer. Its primary application lies in enhancing the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, making it a valuable component in the formulation of oral, topical, and injectable medications. Furthermore, castor oil serves as a plasticizer in the production of capsules and tablets, improving their flexibility and preventing brittleness. It also acts as a vehicle in the preparation of emulsions and ointments, providing smooth application and effective delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Additionally, its emollient properties help improve skin absorption in topical formulations, making castor oil a multifaceted excipient in the pharmaceutical industry.
