Pharma Excipients
Calcium CarbonateCMC and Croscarmellose Sodium
Technical insight into potential functional-related characteristics (FRCs) of sodium starch…
Functional-related characteristics (FRCs) are properties of excipients that can potentially influence one or more functions of that excipient in the final product. Knowledge of FRCs is important for formulation development and also to assess the risks of excipient variability on final product…

Solving Compactability Issues for the Preparation of ODTs
Introduction
Formulators often face compactability issues for the preparation of orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) where active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are poorly compressible or formed in a coated pellet. HiSORAD™, one of the best-in-class co-processed excipient for ODT, may work as…
