CROSCARMELLOSE SODIUM Usage
As pharmaceutical raw materials, pharmaceutical intermediates.
Croscarmellose Sodium (CAS 74811-65-7) is primarily used as a disintegrant in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in tablets and capsules. It helps these dosage forms break down rapidly upon contact with moisture, facilitating the release and absorption of the active drug. Additionally, it finds use in the textile and paper industries, as an insecticide, and in oil-well drilling operations.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
1. Pharmaceutical Applications:
Disintegrant:
Croscarmellose sodium is a highly effective disintegrant, meaning it helps tablets and capsules break apart into smaller particles in the body, allowing for faster drug release.
Oral Formulations:
It’s used in various oral drug delivery systems, including direct compression and granulation processes.
Enhances Bioavailability:
By promoting rapid disintegration, it helps improve the bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
2. Other Applications:
Textile and Paper Industry: It can be used as a thickener and stabilizer in these industries.
Insecticide: It can be found in some insecticide formulations.
Oil-Well Drilling: It can be used to modify the properties of drilling fluids.
