Dextrose Monohydrate

Dextrose Monohydrate – Pharmaceutical-Grade Capsule & Tablet Excipient

Dextrose Monohydrate is a pharmaceutical-grade excipient commonly used in capsule filling and tablet manufacturing as a diluent, sweetener, and functional filler. Derived from glucose and containing one molecule of water of crystallization, dextrose monohydrate offers excellent solubility, consistent particle behavior, and reliable performance in both pharmaceutical and dietary supplement formulations. Its mild sweetness and rapid solubility make it particularly suitable for chewable tablets, flavored supplements, and orally administered products.

Chemically stable and compatible with a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients, dextrose monohydrate integrates easily into formulations without interfering with product stability or performance. Its predictable compression and blending characteristics support consistent tablet weight, uniform dosing, and smooth processing.
