Pharmatrans SANAQ® SL 004 co-processed Starch/Lactose excipient

Pharmatrans Sanaq now offers SANAQ® SL 004 as a co-processed excipient based on mix 15/85 of maize starch and lactose monohydrate.

SL 004 forms an ultra-uniform and highly compressible lactose excipient for tablet fillings that supports direct compression (DC) applications, aiding tablet hardness, faster disintegration, and superior flowability.

Its high bulk weight supports formulation of high weight tablets, maintained capsule fill weight using smaller dies or capsule sizes.
