Oral Liquids

APPLICATION USAGE

Carbopol^® polymers and Noveon^® polycarbophil are ideal excipients for formulating oral suspensions and have been used safely and effectively in a variety of commercial products. Due to the three dimensional gel network formed by Carbopol polymers, they offer longer term stability of suspensions at lower concentrations than competitive materials. Additionally, Carbopol polymers can mask certain bitter tasting drugs, giving a more pleasant taste to oral suspensions, thus increasing patient compliance. In some cases, Carbopol polymers can increase the bioavailability of the active drug in the suspension.
