Sodium Starch Glycolate is a type of excipient commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. It is a modified form of starch that has been chemically altered to create a highly absorbent, fine white powder. Sodium Starch Glycolate is used as a binder and disintegrant in tablet manufacturing, helping to hold the tablet together and facilitating its breakup into smaller particles when ingested. This property makes Sodium Starch Glycolate an important ingredient in many oral drug formulations, as it helps improve the dissolution and bioavailability of active ingredients. Additionally, Sodium Starch Glycolate can also improve the flow and compressibility of powders, making it easier to handle during the tablet-making process.
