Description
PRUV®, sodium stearyl fumarate, is a tablet lubricant designed for formulations in which other lubricants lead to formulation and/or manufacturing challenges. It helps to accelerate product development and is particularly well-suited for high speed direct compression of tablets. As opposed to the frequently used lubricant, magnesium stearate, it offers advantages including: high degree of API compatibility, robustness to over-lubrication, no adverse effect on bioavailability, and imporved appearance in effervescent solutions.
