Disintegrants

Disintegrants are ingredients in medications that help tablets break apart into smaller pieces once ingested. This ensures the active ingredients are released quickly and absorbed into the body efficiently. They work by absorbing water and expanding or by other mechanisms, which causes the tablet to disintegrate. This process improves the drug's effectiveness and ensures it acts as intended. Disintegrants are essential in designing oral medications like tablets and capsules, making sure they dissolve properly within the gastrointestinal tract for optimal absorption.
