                                Sodium starch glycolate (SSG) was the first superdisintegrant introduced to the pharmaceutical industry, significantly outperforming traditional disintegrants. The primary function of sodium starch is to cause the rapid disintegration of tablets and capsules upon contact with water, ensuring efficient drug release.
