Lactose Spheres

Featured Information On Lactose Spheres

Multi-particulate systems, comprised of small, discrete drug particles. Lactose spheres are popularly used because of their versatility, flexibility, and precise dosing, compared to monolithic dosage forms, Lactose spheres offer a controlled release product and a more consistent therapeutic effect, allowing for reduced dosing frequency and potentially minimizing side effects.

Lactose Sphere can help you achieve your ideal multi-particulate formulation without any hassle. Our Lactose spheres are made up of Lactose monohydrate (USP, IP) which makes them extremely robust, chemically inert, and suitable with a wide variety of active ingredients.

Lactose spheres perfectly spherical shaped, they are soluble in water, Lactose spheres are odorless and tasteless having a pH range of 5-7.5. All these characteristics in all help to achieve the ideal active pharmaceutical ingredient goal.

Lactose, a type of sugar found in milk, is used to make lactose spheres, which are tiny, spherical particles. Usually, a spray drying procedure is used to create them, which entails atomizing a lactose solution and drying the resulting droplets to create tiny, uniform spheres.

Numerous applications for lactose spheres exist, most notably in the pharmaceutical sector. They are frequently used in solid oral dosage forms, like tablets and capsules, as fillers or bulking agents to increase the powder's flowability and guarantee consistent dosing. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can be transported by lactose spheres, which can help poorly soluble drugs become more soluble and more bioavailable.

In the food and beverage industry, lactose spheres are also used as a flavour carrier and as a bulking agent in low-calorie or sugar-free products. Lactose spheres can be used in cosmetic formulations as a mild exfoliant or as a carrier for active ingredients.
