What is hypromeliose?

[Guest guest]

Is that the correct spelling? Could it be related to this?

hypromellose (hy·pro·mel·lose) (hi-pro´m & #601;-lôs) [uSP] a propylene

glycol ether of methylcellulose, supplied in differing degrees of

viscosity; used as a suspending and viscosity-increasing agent and

tablet binder, coating, and excipient in pharmaceutical preparations,

and applied topically to the conjunctiva to protect and lubricate the

cornea. Called also hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.

h. phthalate [NF] a phthalic acid ester of hydroxypropyl

methylcellulose, used as a coating agent for tablets and granules.

Hi Bee and everybody,

I recently bought Dr. Weil vitamin B complex because it has the right

ratios. One of the non medicinal elements is hypromeliose. Bee, or

anybody else, do you know what is it?

I did a search on the Internet, which resulted in only 2 sites with

each one listing hypromeliose as one of the ingredients for a product,

without explanation, re: what is is.

Thanks in advance!
