polyvinylpyrrolidone in drugs

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a kind of synthetic polymer material with many unique properties and uses. In this paper, the application fields and properties of polyvinylpyrrolidone will be introduced in detail. The application of polyvinylpyrrolidone in the pharmaceutical industry has excellent solubility, biocompatibility and chemical stability, so it has a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical field. It can be used as pharmaceutical excipients, drug carriers, sustained-release agents, drug synthesis intermediates and so on. 1. Medicinal excipients polyethylene pyrrolidone can be used as medicinal excipients to improve the taste, efficacy and stability of drugs. For example, when making oral liquids or tablets, polyvinylpyrrolidone can be used as a binder, thickener and stabilizer to increase the stability and potency of the drug.

2. Drug carrier

Polyethylpyrrolidone can be used as a drug carrier to wrap the drug in its molecular structure and achieve slow release of the drug. This drug carrier can increase the bioavailability of drugs and reduce the adverse reactions and side effects of drugs.

3. Sustained-release agents

Polyvinylpyrrolidone can act as a sustained-release agent, releasing the drug slowly into the body to maintain a constant concentration of the drug in the body. This sustained-release agent can increase the efficacy of the drug and reduce the amount of medication used and side effects.

4. Drug synthesis intermediates

Polyethylpyrrolidone can be used as a drug synthesis intermediate for the synthesis of some drugs with specific effects. For example, the synthesis of anti-cancer drugs or drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases through polyvinylpyrrolidone.

Is polyvinylpyrrolidone harmful to human body
Under normal circumstances, polyvinylpyrrolidone is not harmful to the human body if added in accordance with the relevant addition standards, but if it exceeds the safety standard, it may be harmful.

Polyvinyl pyrrolidone is a non-ionic polymer compound, mainly used in drugs, food, cosmetics and other items, safety is relatively high, if it is added in accordance with the relevant standards, according to the normal amount of use, after use will not cause discomfort to the human body, there is no harm to the human body. However, it should be noted that if the added amount exceeds the safety standard, it may cause users to cough up phlegm, bloody phlegm, jaundice, proteinuria and other conditions, which is harmful to the human body.
