DICOM SANAQ® LS 004

1 of 6 products in this brand
DICOM SANAQ® LS 004 have average particle size of 300 - 550 microns. It is a combination of Lactose Monohydrate and Starch (maize). Lactose is water loving and soluble in water, at high compression force it hampers disintegration. Starch has multifunction characters and act as binder as well as disintegrant. Starlose has optimized composition of these two ingredients.

Identification & Functionality

Pharma & Nutraceuticals Functions
Composition
  • Lactose - Starch

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • Mixtures with high compressibility,superior diluition properties and fast disitegrating time. The purpose of the excipient is to aid processing during manufacture, enhance stability or bioavailability.
Benefits

It's a unique product used as a filler for tablets and capsules: with

  • Uniform drug distribution
  • Content uniformity
  • Better compressibility as it contains suitable proportion of fines
  • Reduced weight variation
  • And higher production rates.
  • Choice of higher average weight
  • Robust tablet with reduced friability

High bulk density makes this product suitable to formulate high tablet weight / Capsule fill weight in smaller die / capsule size respectively,
