E1201

Stabiliser: During the production of tablets for special medical purposes, there is a technological need to bind the ingredients strongly together and delay dissolution. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (E1201) as a stabilizer will fulfill this technological need in tablets and coated tablet forms for special medical purposes.

Safety. There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations. EFSA concluded that the use of PVP/VA copolymer in solid food supplements as a binding/coating agent is unlikely to be of safety concern at the proposed uses.
