Description

Magnesium stearate is an excipient that is used in the pharmaceutical industry. It is a white, non-hygroscopic, free-flowing powder that is insoluble in water. Magnesium stearate has been shown to inhibit the activity of dapagliflozin, an oral anti-diabetic drug, by complexing with the active form of the drug and inhibiting it from binding to its receptor. Magnesium stearate has also been shown to have no adverse effects on renal function or autoimmune diseases when administered in doses up to 500 mg/day for 6 months.
