Granulated Sorbitol DC 90 Pharma Grade
Direct compression granules containing 90% D-glucitol with minimal binder for tablet manufacturing. The processing into granules does not create a preparation excluded from Chapter 29, as the binder does not render the product particularly suitable for specific use.
