Carboxymethylcellulose Calcium
CARMELLOSE CALCIUM
Importance of bio-availability and fast disintegration of pharmaceutical tablet is realized and
awarness for super-disintegrants in pharmaceutical tablet formulation has also increased.
Superdisintegrant viz. Sodium Starch Glycollate was also introduced by Maple Biotech Pvt Ltd.
in year 1991, which was appreciated in quality and performance by pharmaceutical industry .
Although quest for superior quality superdisintegrant was not over. Superdisintegrant with
better stability and superior performance at high tablet hardness level was sought and Maple
Biotech’s R & D department developed the product Crosslinked Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose
which is bearing brand name Cel-Ca-Dissol®. Further taking into consideration the requirement
for faster dissolution aid for tablets containing ingredients having poor solubility, Calcium
Carboxymethylcellulose (Carmellose Calcium) was introduced.
