PHARM-A-SPHERES

Pharm-a-spheres are non-pareil seeds / neutral pellets of spherical form, composed of sucrose and corn starch. They are primarily used as inert cores in capsule and tablet formulations, particularly multi-particulate, sustained-release formulations. They form the base upon which a drug is coated, usually followed by a release-modifying polymer coating.

Pharm-a-spheres offer great mechanical strength, low friability and good flowability. Their high sphericity with a narrow particle size distribution allows precise calculation of drug loading quantity. Pharm-a-spheres range covers the whole spectrum of diameters from 90 μm - 2000 μm. Customized sizes of this product, to meet specific formulation needs are also possible.
