Aggregant
An aggregant is a type of medicinal activity that increases the viscosity of a solution, usually through the formation of colloidal particles. Aggregants are commonly used to increase the effectiveness of drugs or to reduce the rate of drug absorption. By increasing the viscosity of a solution, aggregants can help keep the drug in contact with the target tissue for a longer period of time, allowing for higher concentrations of the drug to reach the targeted area. Additionally, aggregants can help keep the drug in suspension, preventing it from settling at the bottom of the solution. This can help prevent the drug from being lost or degraded during storage or transportation. Aggregants can also help reduce the rate of drug absorption, allowing the drug to remain in the body for a longer period of time. This can help increase the drug's efficiency, as well as its therapeutic effect.
