Product Description

Direct compressible lactose base granules are a type of pharmaceutical excipient, specifically designed for direct compression tablet manufacturing. They are characterized by their good flow properties, compressibility, and ability to bind well with other tablet components. These granules are typically composed of lactose, often with added binders or other excipients, and are produced to have a uniform particle size distribution for reliable performance.

Key Characteristics:
Composition:
Direct compressible (DC) lactose granules are primarily made of lactose, which can be alpha-lactose monohydrate or anhydrous lactose. They may also include other excipients like microcrystalline cellulose or starch to enhance specific properties.

Production:
They are manufactured through processes like spray-drying or roller compaction to create a granule with improved flow and compressibility compared to milled lactose.
