Used as a diluent or filler in pharmaceutical tablet and capsule formulations due to its excellent compressibility and flow properties. Commonly applied in direct compression manufacturing processes where consistent powder flow and uniform dosage are critical. Also serves as a carrier for active ingredients in dry powder inhalers and oral solid dosage forms. Its low hygroscopicity helps maintain product stability in various humidity conditions, making it suitable for long-term storage of sensitive medications. Widely accepted in food and pharmaceutical industries for its safety and compatibility with a broad range of compounds.
