Disintegrants and superdisintegrant excipients are essential components used in the pharmaceutical industry to enhance the dissolution and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). These excipients facilitate the disintegration and rapid breakup of tablets or capsules, which ultimately increases their rate of absorption in the body.
