Silicones for pharmaceutical applications –analytical capabilities at Solvias

Silicones are used in pharmaceutical applications as part of formulations, as well as during manufacturing and in packaging. The term ‘silicones’ encompasses a large number of compounds based on polydialkylsiloxanes. The most common are trimethylsilyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes. Dimethicones and simethicones are used as active ingredients and antifoaming agents in numerous anti-flatulent or anti-acid formulations. In pharmaceutical formulations, while considered active ingredients, their effect is usually caused by their physical properties, as polydimethylsiloxanes are not metabolized.
