DEXTROSE MONOHYDRATE

Dextrose monohydrate provides key excipient and nutrient benefits as a filler/binder and as a carbohydrate source. Glucose or dextrose is the monomer of natural starch polymer. This monomer is also the natural physiological sugar in the human body. In its crystalline form this natural sugar has long been used both as a filler for oral dosage forms and as a sweetener. Dextrose monohydrate can provide benefit to swallowable tablets, chewable tablets, effervescent tablets and medicated confectionaries. As an excipient it can be used as a filler/binder. As a nutrient it is a carbohydrate source.
