Lubricant and Glidant Excipients

Lubricant and glidant excipients, integral components in pharmaceutical formulations, play essential roles in ensuring the smooth processing and manufacturing of medications. Lubricants reduce friction between tablet granules and equipment surfaces, facilitating uniform tablet compression, while glidants enhance powder flow, ensuring consistent tablet weight and content uniformity.
