Antacids/ Suspension
Alginate Properties
When Sodium Alginate mixes with stomach acids it forms a raft layer in the stomach which makes a barrier against stomach acid reflux.
Tablet Disintegration & Faster Action
Alginate Properties
Alginate being hydrophilic in nature swells when it comes in contact with stomach fluids. This property aids in tablet disintegration, release of the active ingredients of drugs and faster action of the medicine.
Peptic Ulcer
Alginate Properties
Alginate has wound healing properties which are known to heal stomach ulcers.
Controlled Release Drug
Alginate Properties
This property of Alginate to form different types of gel can be used for encapsulation giving it the unique property to control the release of the active ingredients in drugs.
Tablet Coating
Alginate Properties
Tablet coating with Sodium Alginate in order to form a gel on the tablet surface during oral administration.
Wound Dressing
Alginate Properties
Alginate dressings absorb wound fluid and form gels that provide a dry wound with a physiologically moist environment for better healing. This also allows for ease of changing wound dressing.
