Chemical Information
FooDB NameCroscarmellose
DescriptionFood additive. Stabiliser, thickener, moisture control agent, emulsifier. Indirect additive arising by migration from cotton fabrics used in food packaging Croscarmellose sodium also resolves formulators' concerns over long-term functional stability, reduced effectiveness at high tablet hardness levels, and similar problems associated with other products developed to enhance drug dissolution. Croscarmellose sodium is a very commonly used pharmaceutical additive approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Its purpose in most tablets - including dietary supplements - is to assist the tablet in disintegrating in the intestinal tract at the required location. If a tablet disintegrating agent is not included, the tablet could disintegrate too slowly, or in the wrong part of the intestine or not at all, thereby reducing the efficacy of the active ingredients.; Croscarmellose sodium is an internally cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose for use as a disintegrant in pharmaceutical formulations.
