pharmaceutical microcrystalline cellulose Pellet

MCC( microcrystalline cellulose )Pellets : 1.High physico-chemical inertness 2.Hard,free-flowing and hign uniformity

Brief definition

     MCC(microcrystalline cellulose pellets are made of only microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). As critical pharmaceutic adjuvant, MCC pellets are used as cores to be coated in the manufacture of controlled-release or sustained-release formulations. It enables greater accuracy and consistency in drug layering and coating.

Appearance :  White or kind of white near circular pellets.

Application: As critical pharmaceutic sugar-free core for the manufacture of sustained & controlled-release pellets.
