Lactalpha 150 is a 150 mesh pharmaceutical grade sieved lactose conforming with the lactose monohydrate monograph of the current Pharmacopoeias (Ph. Eur., USP-NF and JP).
Lactalpha 150’s fine mesh size enables it to be used as a binder or diluant for tableting after dry or wet granulation, along with guaranteeing a smooth mixing with the other ingredients of the formula.
