Made from hypromellose, a vegetable derived material, K-CAPS[R] have become one of the industry's leading non-animal capsules for their superior appearance, superior filling performance and superior dissolution profile. I have been using Hypromellose drops, then my GP prescribed Visco tears but I don't like these because I find they make my eyes gritty. The physical properties were evaluated for a period of two weeks, and polyethylene glycol, polyethylene oxide, sucrose, dextran 500, hypromellose, hydroxyethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose are good candidates for serving as the excipient for peptide stability studies. |
