Adopting a Quality by Design (QbD) approach for wet granulation requires manufacturers to comprehend the correlation between process variables, such as powder characteristics and equipment ...

The authors evaluate the scalability of foam-granulation technology using continuous foam addition in high-shear granulation equipment at the laboratory, pilot and manufacturing scales. Immediate- and ...

Granulation is a critical unit operation in pharmaceutical manufacturing, where fine powders are agglomerated into granules to improve flow properties, uniformity, and compaction performance. The ...

The authors examine the use of a hypromellose-based product as an excipient in a controlled release formulation using direct-compression tableting. Direct compression (DC) is becoming a preferred ...

Continuous processing as described by the regulatory agencies is the pharmaceutical industry’s area of focus in order to enhance product quality and productivity. It is essential to understand the ...

In dry granulation, powders bind because of the application of mechanical stress. As particles are forced to be within closer proximity, entrained air is forced out, bulk density increases, and a ...

Small molecules, tablets, capsules, soft gels, effervescence, gummies, and pills. These are all oral solid dosage (OSD) forms, a term that refers to a final drug product therapy that is ingested ...

Pharmaceutical manufacturing practices are advancing towards a future in which continuous manufacturing processes will be the norm. Developing and applying such techniques is therefore an essential ...
