Lactose is a sugar extracted from sweet or sour whey.
Pharmaceutical grade lactose is produced by concentrating whey or permeate (a co-product of whey protein concentrate production) to over saturate the lactose, then removing, refining, drying and milling the lactose crystals. Pharmaceutical grade lactose is produced to meet rigid specifications, such as specific form and size distribution-monohydrate, crystalline, 40 mesh to 325 mesh, and a spray-dried mixture of crystalline and amorphous lactose for all applications. All products meet the requirements of the U.S., European and Japanese Pharmacopeia.
Application
1,what is the LACTOSE Monohydrate used for Dry powder inhaler carrier; lyophilization aid; tablet binder; tablet and capsule diluent; tablet and capsule filler.
2,Lactose is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations as a filler and filler-binder in oral capsule and tablet formulations .
3,Lactose is also used in the manufacture of dry powder formulations for use as aqueous film-coating solutions or suspensions.
Direct-compression grades of lactose monohydrate are available as granulated/agglomerated a-lactose monohydrate, containing small amounts of anhydrous lactose. Direct-compression grades are often used to carry lower quantities of drug and this permits tablets to be made without granulation. Other directly compressible lactoses are spray-dried lactose and anhydrous lactose.
