Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

It is well known that it is better not to use lactose for the creation of folic acid and sulpiride capsules because of a possible Maillard reaction.

But specialties like eg. Dogmatil and Folavit do contain lactose in the excipiens. < br/>

Answer

(with the participation of Prof. Hoogmartens)

Sulpiride contains only a tertiary amine. Also for folic acid with a primary amine I consider the probability of reaction in solid, dry condition very low. The fabicants mentioned have no stability problems as expected.
