What is the difference between crospovidone and croscarmellose?
Crospovidone and croscarmellose are both types of super-disintegrants used in pharmaceutical formulations to help tablets break down quickly in the digestive system. Crospovidone is a synthetic polymer made from N-vinylpyrrolidone, while croscarmellose is a cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Crospovidone tends to have faster disintegration properties compared to croscarmellose.
Is crospovidone considered an ionic compound or molecular compound?
Molecular.See the Related Questions to the left for how to determine if a molecule is molecular of ionic.
What is crospovidone I see it in the ingredients of a potassium vitamin I am taking.?
Insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidone has its name Crospovidone in the pharmaceutical industry and PVPP (abbreviation of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) in the beverages industry. It is crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone, white or yellowish to white free flowing powder practically without odor, which is insoluble in water, alkali, acid and usual solvents. It has good swelling characteristics in water without forming a gel. Crospovidone has been used in the manufacture of different pharmaceutical products. Because of its swelling property,i t is used as a disintegrant in tablets, granules and Gelatin capsules. Also, the ability of crospovidone to stabilize suspensions finds its most important application in antibiotics, antacids and vitamin preparations. In the beverages industry, crospovidone (known as PVPP) is used to stabilize/clarify beer and wine by absorbing the polyphenols that cause chill-haze in beer. Clearer and more stable products can be obtained by introducing PVPP into the brewing process.
