HPMCAS (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate)

HPMCAS (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate) is a specially formulated polymer used in pharmaceutical drugs to improve their effectiveness. It acts as an advanced coating for medication particles, protecting the active ingredients from the acidic environment of the stomach. This coating dissolves only in the higher pH of the intestines, ensuring the drug is released where it can be best absorbed. This targeted delivery enhances drug stability, controls release timing, and can improve the drug’s overall performance in treating conditions.
