Appearance:Grayish white to light yellow or beige crystals
Synopsis:This product is a dehydrated derivative of sorbitol. It is an oral osmotic dehydrating drug. Its mechanism of action is similar to that of intravenous mannitol and sorbitol. By increasing plasma osmotic pressure, water in tissues (including eyes, brain and cerebrospinal fluid) enters blood vessels, so as to reduce tissue edema, intraocular pressure, intracranial pressure, cerebrospinal fluid volume and pressure. It can be used as pharmaceutical intermediates, synthetic plastics, resin additives and feed additives.
