Product type
Inhalation grade lactose is a high-purity excipient used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as a filler and binder in dry powder inhalers. It is derived from milk and is processed to ensure it meets stringent quality standards suitable for inhalation applications. This lactose variant is specifically designed to facilitate the delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to the lungs, providing a stable and effective formulation for respiratory therapies.
| Purity | Typically 99.5% or higher |
| Particle size | 100 to 250 microns |
| Moisture content | Less than 5% |
| Bulk density | 0.3 to 0.5 g/cm³ |
| Solubility | Soluble in water |
When selecting inhalation grade lactose, buyers should consider the required purity levels and particle size distribution to ensure optimal performance in inhalation formulations. It is also important to specify moisture content and bulk density based on the intended application. Certifications such as GMP compliance may be necessary for pharmaceutical use, so buyers should confirm these details when requesting quotes. Quantities can vary based on production needs, so providing estimated usage can help suppliers offer the best options.
