Recommended Excipient Applications
✓ Solid Dosage Forms
LUMULSE PEG 600NF/FCC acts as a plasticizer
and API solubilizer in softgel capsules.
✓ Semi-Solid Dosage Forms
High and low molecular weight PEGs are common in
cream or ointment formulations to control viscosity,
localize drug delivery site and improve stability.
Additionally, their emollient and humectant attributes
improve the sensorial profile.
✓ Liquid Dosage Forms
Suspensions or oral liquid formulations utilize the
hydrophilic properties of low molecular weight PEGs
to enhance the solubility of therapeutic agents
and excipients.
