Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
Film coating agent and controlled-release matrix former for sustained drug delivery systems.
Product Overview
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a semi-synthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymer used in ophthalmic preparations and as an excipient in oral controlled-release drug formulations. It forms a robust gel barrier that controls drug release kinetics, making it essential for sustained and extended-release dosage forms.
