Potential of Hydrophilic polymer Guargum as Pharmaceutical Excipient

Abstract

Apart from active ingredients excipient(s) are an indispensable
part of any formulation. One can broadly categorize the excipients
into two classes-the major excipients and the minor excipients.
The major excipients playa significant role in the development of
formulation. The major excipients used vary according to different
dosage forms. There are very few excipients that can be successfully
used in more thim one dosage form. In this review, the potential of
guargum as major excipient in a variety of dosage forms has been
discussed.
