Excipients

MAGNESIUM OXIDE EXTRA LIGHT EP/BP is used as an alkaline diluent in solid-dosage forms to modify the pH of tablets. It can be added to solid-dosage forms to bind excess water and keep the granulation dry. In combination with silica, magnesium oxide can be used as an auxiliary glidant. It is also used as a food additive and as an antacid, either alone or in conjunction with aluminum hydroxide. Magnesium oxide is additionally used as an osmotic laxative and a magnesium supplement to treat deficiency states.

MAIZE STARCH POWDER BP is one of the most reliable excipients produced from white maize (corn). Excellent excipient as binder and filler for tablets and capsules. It participates in Maillard’s reaction in presence of proteins.

MANNITOL DC 200 is used mainly as tablet diluent. It can be used in applications such as, dry or wet granulation.

DEXTROSE MONOHYDRATE BP (ORAL GRADE) is widely used to adjust tonicity and as a sweetening agent. It is also used as a wet granulation diluent and binder. Although dextrose is comparable to as a tablet diluent to lactose , tablets produced with dextrose mono require more lubrication, are less friable, and have a tendency to harden. The mildly reducing properties of the dextrose may be used when tableting to improve the stability of active materials that are sensitive to oxidation. Dextrose is also used therapeutically and it is preferred source of carbohydrate in parenteral nutrition regimens.
