Overview of Lactose Monohydrate

 

The lactose monohydrate is a pharmaceutical-grade milk sugar that can be employed as a diluent filler, binder, and binder in capsules, tablets, and dry powder formulas. It is composed of lactose as well as one water molecule. It gives excellent durability and flow properties.

The excipient is utilized in wet granulation, direct compression, dry granulation, and inhalation formulations. The uniform size of its particles, as well as the compatibility with an array of APIs, are what make it one of the most sought-after excipients within the world pharmaceutical market.

Related products include Lactose Anhydrous, Lactitol Anhydrous, and L-Valine, which are widely used in solid dosage formulations.
