Description
In the pharmaceutical field, medical-grade CMC plays a crucial role as a multifunctional excipient. It acts as a binder in tablet formulations, enhancing the compressibility of powders and ensuring uniform tablet hardness. As a disintegrant, it promotes the rapid breakdown of tablets in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating drug dissolution and absorption. In liquid medications, it functions as a stabilizer and thickener, preventing particle sedimentation and maintaining consistent drug concentration.
