Maninitol BP
Whatsapp Order
Mannitol BP is a white, crystalline, sugar alcohol derived from mannose, widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. It functions as a sweetener, humectant, and excipient. Mannitol BP is non-hygroscopic and has low sweetness compared to sucrose, making it ideal for sugar-free formulations. It is commonly employed in tablet manufacturing as a filler and binder, and in medical settings as an osmotic diuretic to reduce intracranial pressure. The British Pharmacopoeia (BP) grade ensures compliance with pharmacopeial standards for purity and quality.
