Silica Powder in Medicine: Enhancing Drug Production Efficiency and Quality Stability with Pharmaceutical-Grade Silicon Dioxide for Capsules, Tablets, Powders, and Pellets

It is widely used in the field of medicine, and is mostly used as a flow aid and anti-coagulation agent. Its particle size is small and uniform, which can effectively improve the fluidity of drug powder, so that in the pharmaceutical process, such as tablet pressing, packaging and other processes are easier to operate, to ensure the efficiency and quality stability of drug production. Moreover, it is chemically stable, does not react with most drug ingredients, has no adverse effect on the safety and efficacy of drugs, and is a good aid to the ideal storage and use of drugs.

Specific uses of silica powder in the field of medicine:

Capsule:

Silicon dioxide is a kind of medicinal excipient with excellent properties and is often used in capsule production. With high fluidity, it can make the filling of the capsule contents more smooth and uniform, and ensure the accuracy of the drug dosage in each capsule. At the same time, it also has good absorption, can absorb excess water, etc., help to maintain the stability of the drug ingredients in the capsule, prevent the drug from getting damp, caking, etc., and then extend the shelf life of the drug.

tabella

As a lubricant, it can reduce the friction between the tablet and the mold, so that the tablet can be smoothly pushed out of the die, to avoid the tablet cracking, top cracking and other situations. For example, it plays a role in the production of common tablets such as aspirin.

pulvis

Used to improve the flow of the powder and facilitate accurate dosing. Because the powder fluidity of the powder is not good, it is easy to make errors in the dosing, and silica can make the powder flow easily, making the dispensing of the powder more accurate.

pellet

Helps to form and stabilize pellets. In the preparation of pellet drug forms, silica powder allows the drug material to better polymerize into pellets, and keeps the shape and quality of the pellets stable, ensuring that the drug can be released in the body in the desired way.
