Product Description:
Lactose monohydrate is a naturally occurring sugar derived from milk and widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient, particularly as a filler, diluent, and stabilizer in tablets, capsules, and oral powders. Chemically, it is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose, with one molecule of water of crystallization per lactose molecule, giving it a crystalline, white appearance. Its excellent compressibility, flow properties, and compatibility with a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients make it a preferred choice in oral solid dosage forms.
In addition to pharmaceuticals, lactose is extensively used in the food industry, where it provides bulk, sweetness, and stability to various formulations. However, growing awareness of lactose intolerance has led to increased demand for lactose-free alternatives, prompting careful formulation and labeling considerations to accommodate consumers with lactose sensitivity.
Lactose monohydrate is safe, biocompatible, and generally well-tolerated, although individuals with lactose intolerance may need to avoid products containing it. Its versatility allows it to improve tablet hardness, ensure uniform mixing, and aid in controlled-release formulations, making it a key excipient in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical product development. By offering consistent performance, lactose monohydrate continues to support high-quality formulation across a broad range of applications.
