Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide used as a thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent in liquid pharmaceutical formulations such as syrups and suspensions. By increasing viscosity, it prevents sedimentation of particles and ensures the stability and uniformity of medicines. It is also used in topical products like gels, creams, and lotions to provide a smooth texture.
A key application of xanthan gum is in controlled drug-release systems, where it forms a gel matrix that enables gradual release of the active ingredient. Its non-toxic nature, stability under varying pH and temperature, and easy solubility in water make it suitable for both oral and topical medicines.
