    biologically active components in medications producing therapeutic effects

    Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are the biologically active components in medications that produce the intended therapeutic effects. For example, in a drug designed to treat hair loss, the API would be the specific chemical compound that stimulates hair growth or prevents further hair loss. APIs are crucial in the formulation of any pharmaceutical product, as they are responsible for the drug's efficacy.
