Filler and Binder

MCC acts as a filler and binder in tablets and capsules, increasing size for easier handling and preventing crumbling by holding ingredients together.

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) functions as a filler in solid oral dosage forms, increasing the bulk of tablets and capsules to facilitate handling and manufacturing. As a binder, MCC provides cohesive properties, ensuring that tablet ingredients are compressed into a stable form and preventing fragmentation during handling, storage, and administration.
