Description	Povidone K-90 is a synthetic polymer used extensively as a pharmaceutical excipient due to its solubility, binding, and film-forming properties. As a high-molecular-weight variant of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), it serves multiple roles in pharmaceutical formulations. Primarily, Povidone K-90 acts as a binder in tablet formulations, enhancing the cohesive properties of different tablet components, which facilitates the production of tablets with desirable hardness and low friability. It is also employed as a solubilizing agent, improving the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, and as a stabilizer in suspensions, oral liquids, and topical formulations. Moreover, its film-forming capacity is valuable in the coating of tablets, where it helps in masking taste, controlling drug release, and improving the aesthetic appeal of pharmaceuticals. Due to its versatility, safety, and compatibility with a wide range of other ingredients, Povidone K-90 is a staple in pharmaceutical development.
