Croscarmellose Sodium NF
Description
Croscarmellose Sodium is a highly effective superdisintegrant widely used to improve the dissolution and bioavailability of active ingredients in oral dosage forms. This cross-linked polymer is known for its rapid swelling properties when in contact with water, ensuring quick and efficient disintegration of tablets and capsules.
In formulations requiring a quick onset of action, such as immediate-release tablets, Croscarmellose Sodium is invaluable. It facilitates water absorption into the tablet matrix, causing it to expand and break apart rapidly. This process speeds up the release of active ingredients for absorption. Its performance remains consistent across different pH levels and in the presence of ions, making it a versatile option for various pharmaceutical formulations.
Applications:
- Superdisintegrant in tablet and capsule formulations
- Ideal for immediate-release and fast-dissolving drug delivery systems
Features:
- Promotes rapid disintegration and dissolution of tablets and capsules
- Effective across a wide range of pH levels
- Requires low usage levels for effective disintegration
- Compatible with a broad range of APIs and other excipients
Compliance: Croscarmellose Sodium meets pharmacopeial standards, including USP, EP, and JP, ensuring it is suitable for global pharmaceutical manufacturing.
