ALFONOLAC™ – (LACTOSE MONOHYDRATE)

ALFONOLAC™ – (LACTOSE MONOHYDRATE)
Product Description

The most common way to obtain lactose in solid form is crystallizing from solution. When crystallization is performed at temperatures below 93.5°C, exclusively α-Lactose monohydrate is obtained. α-Lactose has the peculiarity that in the crystalline state each lactose molecule is associated with one molecule of water, i.e. monohydrate. The water is incorporated in the crystal lattice and forms an integral part of it. It is not removed by normal drying processes. Due to this water of crystallization, the normal water content of α-Lactose monohydrate is around 5%. Only at temperatures as high as 140°C, the crystal water will be removed completely.

Specifications
  • Details
    In the pharmaceutical industry, this lactose is used chiefly as an excipient in the production of solid dosage forms, e.g. tablet production by wet granulation and direct compression and for encapsulation. In dry powder inhalers, α-lactose monohydrate is used as a carrier.
