Description Sodium Starch Glycolate, specifically Type A with a pH of 5.5-7.5, is a pharmaceutical excipient primarily used as a superdisintegrant in the formulation of oral tablets and capsules. Its primary function is to facilitate the rapid disintegration and dissolution of tablets after oral administration, ensuring that the active pharmaceutical ingredients are released promptly for absorption. This excipient, derived from cross-linked, water-insoluble polymer chains of potato starch, effectively absorbs water rapidly, causing the tablet to swell and break apart, thus enhancing the bioavailability of the drug. Sodium Starch Glycolate Type A is valued for its efficiency at low concentrations and is compatible with a variety of other excipients and active ingredients, making it a versatile choice in solid oral dosage formulations.
Synonyms Sodium Carboxymethyl Starch
Grade NF
