Product Info
Sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed and has a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical industry. 1. Antacid Suspensions: Sodium alginate reacts with gastric acid to form a viscous gel. This gel can float on top of the gastric contents, creating a physical barrier that helps prevent acid reflux and protects the esophagus from irritation caused by stomach acid. 2. Oral Formulations: Sodium alginate is commonly used as a thickening agent in liquid formulations, such as syrups and suspensions, to improve viscosity and stability. 3. Controlled Release: Sodium alginate is often used in controlled-release drug delivery systems, allowing for the sustained release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) over time. 4. Wound Dressing: Sodium alginate is used in wound dressings due to its ability to absorb exudates and maintain a moist environment, promoting healing. 5. Creams and Ointments: It acts as a stabilizer in emulsions, helping to maintain the uniform distribution of oil and water phases in creams and ointments. 6. Binder, Coating Agent and Disintegrant: Sodium alginate can function as a binder in tablet formulations, helping to hold the ingredients together. It can also serve as a disintegrant, promoting the breakdown of tablets in the digestive tract. It also used as a coating agent for control release of API. 7. Impression Material: Sodium alginate is widely used in dentistry for making dental impressions. It provides accurate and detailed molds of dental structures.. 8. Tissue Engineering: Sodium alginate is utilized in creating scaffolds for tissue engineering applications, providing a supportive structure for cell growth and regeneration. 9. Stability of Sensitive Compounds: It is used for microencapsulation of sensitive compounds, protecting them from degradation while allowing for controlled release. 10. Bulk-Forming Laxatives: Due to its ability to absorb water and swell, sodium alginate is sometimes used in formulations aimed at promoting bowel regularity.
