Since the days when "a spoonful of sugar" was first recommended to get children to take their medicine, sugar has been a valued excipient for the pharmaceutical industry.

Today, specially processed grades of sugars are used not only to impart sweetness but also to bring many other vital functionalities into pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations. And Domino, a name known by consumers for filling the nation's sugar bowls, is known among drug manufacturers as the leading source of innovative, sophisticated sugar products that solve problems, reduce production costs and help to improve end-product performance.

Our R&D efforts have already had a dramatic impact on the trend towards direct compression tableting. Di-Pac® Direct Compacting & Tableting Sugar is a unique, co-crystallized product that provides direct compressibility, enhanced flowability, solubility and dispersion. Additionally, we offer over a dozen distinct grades of National Formulary Sugars for coatings, syrups and other applications.
