Anhydrous Lactose
Anhydrous Lactose is a pharmaceutical excipient widely used as a filler and binder in solid dosage formulations. Its good compactability makes it suitable for direct compression and dry granulation. With its low moisture content, anhydrous lactose is also suitable for formulations containing moisture-sensitive active ingredients.
Product Details
Anhydrous Lactose is a lactose-based pharmaceutical excipient designed for use in oral solid dosage formulations. It functions as a filler, diluent, and binder, supporting tablet formulation and manufacturing processes. Depending on the grade and particle size distribution, it can be used in direct compression and dry granulation applications. Its low moisture content makes it a useful option for formulations requiring careful moisture control.
