LACTOSE MONOHYDRATE USP/NF, EP, JP, IP
Lactose Monohydrate (crystalline) USP/NF, EP, JP

Meggle offers crystalline alpha-lactose monohydrate in milled and sieved forms. Various grades are available depending on their particle size and structure. The milled type consists of fine, sharp-edged lactose particles, having cohesive powder properties that can be beneficial during granulation processes. On the other hand, the sieved grades are mainly monocrystals with some agglomerates, especially suited to permit and optimize applications where powder flow is important.
