Ibuprofen DC100

Ibuprofen DC100 (Ibuprofen Ph.Eur., physically processed) is granulated ibuprofen consisting of 100% pure active without additional excipients. The high concentration of API provides maximum freedom in formulation of dosage forms e.g. tablet size and release characteristics to achieve better patients’ compliance. Complex Ibuprofen formulations resulting from the critical compression behavior of the drug can be easily substituted using the 100 % active granules keeping the registered composition in the outer phase.
