sugars & other things are used as mechanical binders. This is so the pill will hold together. The binders need several characteristics.
Not to change the pH of the drug,

to make measuring the amount of material in the pill easier
to make dissolving of the pill uniform & in the right part of the digestive tract
to not cause either the drug or the drug /binder combination to deterioate
binders are also used to keep humidity, air & light from causing the drug to deterioate & the pill from crumbling
The binder is usually what holds the pill together & provides the mechanical strength of the pill. coating are added to the pill to do some of the same things binders do.
sugars are often used as is common talc & several other things. This should all be in one of your text books
