Understanding the Role and Benefits of Anhydrous Lactose in Pharmaceuticals
Anhydrous lactose is a purified form of lactose with very low moisture content, which prevents water absorption and makes it highly suitable for pharmaceutical applications. It is widely used as a filler or diluent in tablets and capsules to provide consistent dosing and improve tablet strength. Its moisture-resistant nature ensures stability in sensitive drug formulations and enhances powder flow during the manufacturing process, making it a preferred choice among pharmaceutical companies.
