FAQs

A few questions answered

  • Are APION Polymers Safe for Use in Pharmaceuticals?
    Absolutely. APION polymers are recognized as safe excipients for pharmaceutical use. Their reproducibility and performance have made them a trusted choice in taste masking, disintegration control, and applications such as cholestyramine powder substitutes, ensuring patient-friendly dosage forms.
  • Can APION Polymers Be Used in Both Tablets and Suspensions?
    Yes, APION polymers are versatile and can be incorporated into both solid tablets and suspension formulations. They act effectively as oral excipients, supporting taste masking, disintegration, and release modification for a wide range of drugs including zinc drug formulations where zinc gluconate is for supplementation and therapeutic benefits.
  • What Is the Moisture Content in APION Polymers?
    The moisture content of APION polymers is tightly controlled to maintain stability and prevent degradation, similar to quality parameters observed in vitamin b12 USP and other pharmaceutical-grade ingredients.
  • What Types of APION Polymers Are Available?
    APION is available in different grades tailored for specific functions such as cholestyramine powder alternatives, suspension-based Taste masking polymer systems, and solid oral disintegration excipients. Each type is designed for precise formulation needs.
  • How do APION Polymers Improve Taste Masking?
    APION polymers function as a Taste masking polymer by binding bitter-tasting drug molecules and preventing their immediate release in the oral cavity. This is especially useful in pediatric and geriatric formulations, such as azithromycin taste masking applications.
