Mannitol is a sugar alcohol commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry for various purposes. It is a white, crystalline powder with a sweet taste and is known for its ability to act as an osmotic diuretic. Mannitol finds applications in pharmaceuticals due to its unique properties, including solubility, stability, and low toxicity.

Potential pharmacokinetic interaction between orally administered drug and osmotically active…
Poorly absorbable sugar alcohols (e.g., mannitol, sorbitol, and maltitol) are the excipients frequently contained in pediatric dosage forms. Due to their osmotically active properties, certain amount of sugar alcohols reportedly reduces oral bioavailability of concomitant drugs. This fact implies…

Spray-Congealing and Wet-Sieving as Alternative Processes for Engineering of Inhalation Carrier…
Purpose
Traditionally, α-lactose monohydrate is the carrier of choice in dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulations. Nonetheless, other sugars, such as D-mannitol, have emerged as potential alternatives. Herein, we explored different particle engineering processes to produce D-mannitol carriers for…

Exploring the Myth of Inert Excipients
Introduction
Stable active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) represent a critical success factor for drug formulation for four main reasons.
Firstly, the potential instability of APIs can represent a critical threat to patient safety. This risk can be generated through the decline in the actual…
