Defining 'Phthalates'

摘要

The International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council of the Americas (IPEC-Americas) reviewed the article "Identification of Phthalates in Medications and Dietary Supplement Formulations in the United States and Canada" by Kelley et al. (2012). This article contains inaccuracies and misleading statements, and the terminology used by Kelly et al. was incorrect. Speaking for IPEC-Americas, I would like to rectify any confusion caused by their colloquial use of the term "phthalate."
