What are the typical pharmaceutical uses of PEG 300?
PEG 300 is commonly used as a co-solvent in oral liquid formulations, soft gelatin capsule fills, and topical gels and ointments. Its liquid state at room temperature and good solvency make it useful for dissolving both water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients in a single vehicle.
Is PEG 300 compatible with soft gelatin capsule manufacturing?
Yes. PEG 300 is frequently used as a solvent and carrier in soft gelatin capsule (softgel) fill formulations, particularly for poorly soluble APIs. Its low volatility ensures fill stability during the encapsulation and drying process.
How does PEG 300 compare to PEG 400 in formulation?
PEG 300 and PEG 400 have similar physical properties and are often used interchangeably as liquid solvents, though PEG 400 is more widely referenced in pharmacopoeial monographs and is the more commonly specified liquid PEG grade in IP/BP/USP formulations.
