In the intricate world of pharmaceutical manufacturing, the selection of excipients is paramount to the success of any drug formulation. Among these essential components, Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) stands out as a highly effective superdisintegrant. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we recognize the critical role SSG plays in ensuring tablets perform optimally, from their disintegration in the body to the absorption of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).

SSG is a chemically modified starch derivative, specifically the sodium salt of starch carboxymethyl ether. Its primary function is to facilitate the rapid breakdown of tablets upon contact with gastrointestinal fluids. This is achieved through its remarkable ability to absorb water and swell, creating internal pressure within the tablet matrix that breaks it apart into smaller particles. This process is vital for ensuring that the API is released efficiently, leading to quicker dissolution and absorption, and ultimately, improved bioavailability.

One of the significant advantages of using SSG is its ability to enhance tablet hardness while maintaining or even improving its disintegration capabilities. This dual benefit allows formulators to create robust tablets that are less prone to breakage during handling and packaging, yet still disintegrate rapidly when administered. This property is particularly valuable when aiming to improve tablet hardness without affecting disintegration, a common challenge in tablet formulation.

The market often seeks a cost-effective superdisintegrant in pharma, and SSG consistently meets this demand. Its widespread availability and efficient manufacturing processes contribute to its economic viability without compromising on quality or performance. This makes it an attractive option for a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical products, from generic medications to specialized formulations.

Furthermore, SSG is instrumental in improving the absorption of poorly soluble drugs. By increasing the surface area available for dissolution, it helps to solubilize compounds that might otherwise be poorly absorbed. This means that patients can benefit from the full therapeutic potential of the medication, making SSG a key ingredient for those aiming to improve bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs.

The applications of SSG extend beyond immediate-release tablets. It is also effectively used in chewable tablets, effervescent formulations, and even controlled-release systems, demonstrating its versatility. Its role as a fast expanding disintegrant for tablets makes it a foundational component for many modern drug delivery systems.
