    The answer is explained below:

    Explanation:

    Magnesium stearate is primarily used as a lubricant and as anti-adherent and glidant. This occurs as plate-like crystals staked like a deck of cards.

    The use of magnesium stearate causes compression and dissolution problems.

    And because stearates are alkaline in reaction, it can not be used with some acidic drugs.
