Abstract
The invention provides a number of new water soluble lubricants and lubricant formulations which facilitate the production of tablets. In particular calcium and potassium sorbates and micronized combinations of polyethylene glycol with calcium ascorbate or with trisodium citrate or mixtures thereof are useful as lubricants, particularly in tablet compositions containing ingredients where rapid dissolution in an aqueous environment is desired for activity or desired for aesthetic purposes. A method is provided for surface treating calcium sorbate with docusate sodium, Simethicone Emulsion, USP or with lecithin to provide particularly useful tablet lubricants. The above lubricant(s) and lubricant formulations have fewer limitations and improved functionality in comparison to standard lubricants presently known. In addition, the lubricant(s) provided may be used with known hydrophobic lubricants to decrease the amount of the hydrophobic lubricant required for lubrication.
