Lactose
InhaLac 500 lactose for dry powder inhala-
tion formulations is micronized so that 90
percent of particles are smaller than 10
microns. Micronized particles are suitable
for use as fines in ternary formulations (5 to
15 percent by weight) to improve fine par-
ticle fraction or as fillers in spherical pellets.
Because of its high cohesive properties, APIs
easily adhere to excipient surface to form
agglomerates, which detach more readily
from carrier surface than API monolayers to
improve dispersion.
