Hypromellose
Hypromellose (HPMC) is a high-purity, water-soluble, nonionic cellulose ether that serves as a cornerstone excipient in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its exceptional properties as a binder, film-former, and viscosity enhancer are critical for advanced drug delivery systems, particularly in controlled-release formulations. We are exploring the intricacies of hypromellose for controlled release drugs.
- This hypromellose is a widely used polymer in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly as a key excipient for controlled release of active ingredients (API) from oral matrix tablets.
- We offer HPMC for eye drops, ensuring lubrication and viscosity enhancement for ocular comfort and relief from dryness.
- Discover the benefits of using vegetarian capsules made from HPMC, a plant-derived alternative to gelatin, catering to a growing consumer demand.
- Our hypromellose acts as a crucial binder in tablet formulations, creating a cohesive matrix that ensures tablet integrity while facilitating appropriate disintegration upon ingestion.
Advantages Provided by the Product
Enhanced Drug Release Control
Leverage hypromellose for controlled release drugs to achieve predictable and reproducible drug release profiles, reducing the need for complex blending strategies.
Superior Ophthalmic Performance
Utilize HPMC in ophthalmic solutions to provide a lubricating and viscous layer on the ocular surface, offering prolonged relief for dry eyes.
Improved Capsule Manufacturing
HPMC capsules offer better stability and moisture resistance compared to gelatin capsules, making them an ideal choice for dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals.
Key Applications
Pharmaceutical Controlled Release
HPMC is instrumental in creating hydrophilic matrices for sustained drug delivery, managing release kinetics through gelation and erosion.
Ophthalmic Preparations
Used in eye drops and artificial tears to lubricate and relieve irritation associated with dry eyes, ensuring ocular comfort.
Dietary Supplement Capsules
HPMC serves as the primary component for vegetarian and vegan capsules, offering a safe and stable alternative to gelatin for encapsulating vitamins and supplements.
Tablet Coating and Binding
Acts as an effective film-forming agent for tablet coatings and a binder in tablet manufacturing, enhancing stability and ease of handling.
