Pharmacel® 102
Pharmacel® 102
Microcrystalline cellulose 102
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) compacts more effectively than any other excipient making Pharmacel® 102 the ideal choice for direct compression. Its versatility in direct compression extends to very high dose actives, where compactability is at a premium.
