Starch lactose complex is a pharmaceutical excipient produced by spray-drying or freeze-drying starch with lactose to enhance flowability. While no single standardized molecular formula exists due to its composite nature, it typically combines corn starch (C6H10O5)n and lactose monohydrate (C12H22O11·H2O). CAS numbers vary by specific starch source, often referencing the parent components.
Contraindicated in patients with galactosemia or severe lactose intolerance. Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent hygroscopic clumping. Handle with dust masks to avoid respiratory irritation during industrial processing.
