Application
Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil serves various purposes in pharmaceutical applications. It functions as a lubricant in tablets and capsules, acts as an auxiliary binder in tablet formulations, and can be employed as a matrix-forming material in lipophilic controlled-release systems. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in controlled-release formulations as a coating aid. Furthermore, this oil serves as a viscosity regulator in oily liquid and semi-solid preparations, helping to prevent sedimentation of suspended components and enhance the curing process when preparing suppositories. Lastly, it is used as a liquid or semi-solid filler for gelatin hard capsules.
