Croscarmellose Sodium

DESCRIPTION

Croscarmellose sodium is a pharmaceutical excipient used in tablet formulations. It acts as a superdisintegrant, rapidly breaking down tablets upon contact with moisture to promote faster drug release and absorption in the body.

Croscarmellose sodium is primarily used as a superdisintegrant in tablet formulations.
It is applied in various types of tablets, including immediate-release tablets, chewable tablets, and orally disintegrating tablets.
Croscarmellose sodium achieves this by swelling and generating internal pressure, leading to the fragmentation of tablets into smaller particles.
Its compatibility with different drug substances and ability to enhance dissolution make it a valuable ingredient in pharmaceutical formulations.
