Stearic Acid Excipient

On the use of stearic acid excipients
Pharmaceutical in the world, in the selection of excipients, is the key. Stearic acid excipients have mild properties and are widely used.

Stearic acid, in the shape of ash or powder. When making medicines, it is often used as a lubricant. When making pills and tablets of medicine, the material slides between the instruments, which is easy to block and damage its shape. However, the addition of stearic acid excipients can reduce friction and make the flow of materials smooth, and the shape of pills and tablets can be regular and smooth.

And stearic acid excipients can also be used as mold release agents. In the process of capsule filling and suppository molding, the material is easy to adhere to the mold. Supplemented by stearic acid, the material comes out smoothly from the mold, without the risk of adhesion, and the product is intact.

Furthermore, stearic acid excipients also play a role in the drug slow and controlled release system. It can regulate the release rate of the drug to make the drug last for a long time and release smoothly. If the outer layer of the pill is wrapped with a film containing stearic acid excipients, the drug will gradually dissolve in the body, and the drug effect will be prolonged, so as to avoid the harm of sudden drug force.

When using stearic acid excipients, caution must also be used. The amount is related to the efficacy and quality of the drug. If there is too much, the drug will disintegrate slowly, and the drug effect will be difficult to show; if there is too little, the effect of lubrication and controlled release will not be achieved. It is necessary to add detailed tests and accurate proportions in order to make the best use of its capabilities and provide excellent pharmaceuticals for the benefit of patients.
