Cyclodextrin, alpha- (INS-457)
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides used for the improvement of water-solubility and bioavailability of medicinal products. At least six types are already available on the market. Because cyclodextrins at high doses have active properties and may show adverse effects, it is recommended to add information on these excipients in the package leaflet of medicinal products.
