Crospovidone is an insoluble, cross-linked PVP used as a superdisintegrant in solid oral dosage forms.
It rapidly wicks water into the tablet matrix without gelling, leading to quick disintegration and fast onset of action.
It can also act as a stabilizer and clarifying agent by adsorbing impurities and degradation products in liquids.
Its chemical inertness and broad regulatory acceptance make it useful in both pharmaceutical and food applications.
