Beyond its extensive use in the food industry, Carrageenan, particularly certain refined grades, serves as a vital excipient in pharmaceutical formulations. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a leading carrageenan manufacturer, supplies high-purity Carrageenan (CAS 9000-07-1) that meets the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical sector. Understanding its applications can significantly enhance drug delivery and product stability.

Carrageenan's Multifaceted Role in Pharmaceuticals

The unique properties of Carrageenan make it a valuable ingredient in various pharmaceutical preparations:

  • Binder: In tablet manufacturing, Carrageenan can act as a binder, helping to hold the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other excipients together, ensuring tablet integrity and preventing disintegration before intended. This binding property is crucial for consistent dosage forms.
  • Thickener and Stabilizer: In liquid and semi-solid dosage forms such as syrups, suspensions, and creams, Carrageenan functions as an effective thickener and stabilizer. It improves the viscosity, enhances mouthfeel, prevents settling of active ingredients in suspensions, and ensures a homogenous product. When you purchase Carrageenan for pharmaceutical liquids, its rheological properties are key.
  • Gelling Agent: While less common than in food, Carrageenan can be used to form soft gels for specialized applications, such as in certain wound dressings or controlled-release drug delivery systems.
  • Suspending Agent: For oral suspensions, Carrageenan helps to keep insoluble drug particles dispersed evenly throughout the liquid vehicle, ensuring accurate dosing with each administration.
