Eudragit polymers:
Eudragit is a brand name for a series of synthetic polymers that are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. These polymers are primarily composed of methacrylic acid and its derivatives and are supplied by Evonik.
Eudragit polymers are commonly used as excipients in drug formulations to improve the stability, solubility, and bioavailability of drugs.
They can be used to coat tablets, capsules, and granules, which can protect drugs from degradation, improve taste, and control drug release.
They can also be used in the manufacture of transdermal patches and as a matrix material for drug delivery systems.
There are several types of Eudragit polymers, including Eudragit L, Eudragit S, Eudragit E, and Eudragit RL. These different types of Eudragit have varying solubility properties and pH sensitivity, which can be used to control drug release in the body.
In this video we discuss in details about different grades, application, properties of Eudragit polymers. I have also added some tips to remember properties if different grades.
