Usage: Mannitol in medicine is a good diuretic to reduce intracranial pressure, intraocular pressure and renal pharmaceuticals, dehydration, sugar substitutes, also used as tablet excipients and solid, liquid diluent. Mannitol injection as a high penetration of antihypertensive pharmaceuticals, the clinical brain disorders, especially rescue the rescue of a pharmaceutical commonly used, to reduce intracranial pressure with antihypertensive pharmaceuticals require rapid, effective and accurate.

Used as a tablet excipient, mannitol no moisture absorption, fast drying, good chemical stability, but also has tasty, and good granulation Characters for anti-cancer pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, antihistamines, and vitamins and other large part of the tablet. In addition, pharmaceuticals used to sober up, mouth refreshing agent Chewable agent

Food additive, low-calorie sweetener; gum and candy anti-stick; nutritional supplement agents and tissue conditioner; moisturizer; filler.

In industry, mannitol can be used for the plastics industry, the system glycerol rosin esters and synthetic resins, explosives, detonators (nitrification mannitol) and so on. In the chemical analysis for the determination of boron in biological testing for bacterial culture on the agent. Although mannitol can be absorbed by the gastrointestinal, but does not accumulate in the body. Is absorbed, is metabolized in the body part, other part in the urine; by hydrobromic acid can be obtained dibromo mannitol.
