Tablets & Capsules July 2018 27 Multifunctional minerals Omyapharm functionalized calcium carbonate excipient is suitable for use in numerous pharmaceutical and nutra- ceutical solid oral dosage products such as tablet and capsule formulations, microencapsulated products, and orally dispersible tablets and granules. Excipi- ent's high porosity and external lamel- lar structure enable fast disintegration (less than ten seconds) and excellent compactibility, resulting in increased tablet hardness at low compression forces. Tablets formulated with this excipient don't require special packag- ing, reducing costs and potential diffi- culties during conditioning. Company also offers the Omyapure and Omya- Cal APIs, natural calcium carbonates for manufacturing dietary supplements, antacids, and osteoporosis treatment. Omya, Long Beach, CA 562 961 3333 www.omya.com Functional excipients Company offers functional excipients for tablets, capsules, powders, and other oral dosage forms.

Pharmaceutical excipients for taste masking and solubility, stability, and disintegration enhancement, as well as film-forming and coating products, tai- lored excipients for hard and soft cap- sules, and orally dissolving products are also available. Company also supplies plant-based excipients and ingredients for the nutraceutical sector. Roquette, Geneva, IL 630 463 9430 www.roquette.com Povidone excipients Vivapharm PVP (povidone) for use in wet granulations enhances bioavailabil- ity and dissolution of poorly soluble APIs. Excipient balances high binding capacity with adhesive strength—even at concentrations of 2 to 5 percent— and its low viscosity ensures easy han- dling. Excipient is readily soluble in water and various organic solvents, providing processing flexibility. Free-flowing powder has spherical par- ticles for rapid dispersion, and its non- ionic polymers prevent negative inter- actions with ionic APIs. Company also offers Vivapharm PVPP (crospovi- done) and PVP/VA 64 (copovidone).
