Application
Pharma grade excipient Mannitol is a sugar alcohol commonly used in pharmacy for various purposes. Some of its important functions include:
Tablet Formulations: Mannitol serves as a diluent and afiller, contributing to the physical properties of thetablet, such as hardness and disintegration.
Osmotic Diuretic: Used in medical settings, particularlyfor the reduction of intracranial pressure and theprevention of acute renal failure. lts osmotic propertiespromote the removal of excess fluid from tissues.
Lyoprotectant for Proteins and Vaccines: Utilized as alyoprotectant in the freeze-drying (lyophilization)process of pharmaceuticals, especially for proteins andvaccines.lt helps maintain the stability and activity ofthese sensitive compounds during storage.
