Overview of Lactose Anhydrous

Lactose Anhydrous is a high-quality pharmaceutical milk sugar used extensively as a filler, diluent, and binder for solid or oral dosage forms. It is made by the controlled dehydration process of lactose monohydrate, which results in a solid fluid, free-flowing white crystal powder with exceptional compression.

Within the pharmaceutical sector, Lactose Anhydrous is among the most commonly used excipients in tablets, capsules, as well as dry powder inhalers (DPIs), and direct-compression formulations. It offers uniform blending as well as improving flow properties and increases tablet strength.

Related products include Lactose Monohydrate, Lactitol Anhydrous, and L-Valine, which are often used in pharmaceutical formulations.
