PEG is a Versatile Excipient

In pharmaceutical formulations, PEG (Polyethylene Glycol) serves as a multifunctional excipient. Its applications include:

  • Binding agent in tablet manufacturing
  • Plasticizer in film coatings
  • Lubricant in capsule production

PEG’s non-toxic nature and compatibility with various active pharmaceutical ingredients make it an ideal choice for formulators seeking to optimize drug performance and stability.

Boosting Drug Solubility

One of PEG’s most valuable properties is its ability to enhance the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. This is crucial because:

  • Many new drug candidates have low aqueous solubility
  • Improved solubility can lead to better bioavailability

PEG achieves this through various mechanisms, including:

  • Formation of solid dispersions
  • Acting as a solubilizing agent in liquid formulations

By improving solubility, PEG helps unlock the potential of otherwise challenging drug molecules, expanding treatment options for patients.
