Pharmaceutical grade lactose powder has to be stored it in a cool, dark place. Temperatures should remain below 27 degree Celsius and humidity below 65% as high humidity can result in mold.

Pharma grade lactose powder is often used in tablets and has low levels of impurity. It is a carbohydrate which means it is a disaccharide. This means it is in the class of sugars which contain two monosaccharide residues. It makes up around 2-8% of milk as determined by weight. It’s a soluble product with a low level of sweetness. Lactose powder is clear and colourless and inert. It can improve safety elements of a drug and makes the manufacturing process smoother.

The creation of various grades of lactose powder have made many advances. Each grade produce a slightly unique form of lactose powder. This means you can be more specific with the properties of your formula.
