Co-processed excipients
Development and pharmaceutical performance of a novel co-processed excipient of alginic acid and…
In this study, a co-processed excipient (Cop AA-MCC) was prepared from alginic acid (AA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC101) using a laboratory scale high-shear granulator. The obtained granules were compared to the primary materials (AA, MCC101), to the dry mixture and to wet granulated MCC.…
