Pharmaceutical Excipient

Xanthan gum was included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as a pharmaceutical
excipient in 2010. Compared with other gums and suspending agents,
pharmaceutical grade xanthan gum has high viscosity (especially significant at
low concentrations), strong rheology and pseudoplastic, excellent stability,
acid and alkali resistance, enzyme resistance, good compatibility and
adaptability with various solvents, and safe and non-toxic characteristics. As
a result, xanthan gum has very good pharmaceutical applications.

Xanthan gum is a functional component that is popular among microcapsule drugs
in the international sections, which plays an important role in controlling the
sustainable release of drugs. Due to its own strong hydrophilicity and water
retention, there are many specific medical operations and applications, such as
forming a dense water film to avoid skin infections; reducing the thirst of
patients after radiotherapy. Xanthan gum itself can significantly enhance
humoral immune function. The application in medicine is as a stabilizer, which
can be used in various suspension concentrations and emulsifiers, such as
vitamin emulsifiers to avoid delamination caused by temperature rise. Xanthan
gum is easily soluble in cold water, making it is easier to make solution
preparation. As a thickener, xanthan gum can be used to make tablets that can
extend the contact time with other additives.
