An introduction of M.B. Sugars Excipients for Pharma industry
A pharmaceutical-grade compound is defined as “any active or inactive drug, biologic or reagent, for which a chemical purity standard has been established by a recognized national or regional pharmacopeia.”
Pharma-grade products are usually consumed by humans and animals. They are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These products meet standards for their chemical purity.
Pharma sugar is one of the essential ingredients of pharmaceutical products. MB Sugars, being a pharma-excipient manufacturer, provides sugars that comply with pharmacopeia norms like the IP, BP, EP, USP-NF, JP and CHP

It is also used as a suspending agent, therapeutic agent in pharma products as well as sachet products. It also acts as a diluent for tablets and capsules. Sucrose
It is also used in dry syrup and syrup Formulation. The Pharmacopoeial syrups have high concentrations of sucrose, as per Pharmacopoeial requirement.
Adding sucrose gives greater stability to syrups and limits microbial growth due to high osmotic pressure. Also, in dry syrups, sucrose is used as a stabilizer.

2. Maltodextrin: It is a water-soluble pharma excipient that is used as a diluent in single-unit dosage preparations like sachets.
3. Tartaric Acid Powder: It is a white crystalline powder that is used as a stabilizer in pharmaceutical products. It is also used as an anti-oxidant, acidifier, flavor enhancer, and API stabilizer.
4. Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate: It is a fine white powder that is used as a filler in tablets made by direct compression or is used as a binder in the wet granulation process.
5. Liquid Sorbitol: It is a colorless liquid used as a stabilizer for drugs, vitamins, and antacid suspensions. It is also used in syrups and prevents crystallization around bottle caps.
6. S-Coat: It is based on dewaxed and decolorized shellac that is refined in the solvent extraction process. It is used to mask the taste and odor of the tablets and acts as a seal coating and a moisture barrier for pharma products.
