Selection of Granulation Process for Solid Dosage Form

Selection of Granulation Process for Solid Dosage Form

Selecting the right processing platform for solid dosage forms is essential for ensuring product quality, efficacy, and manufacturability. This decision-guiding flowchart provides a structured approach to choosing the best processing method based on key formulation parameters. Key Considerations: 1. Solubility: The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class determines solubility. For Class II & IV compounds, solubility…

Water Distribution Between Particles of a Granule During Formation and Drying

Water Distribution Between Particles of a Granule During Formation and Drying

At low moisture levels, termed the (pendular state), the particles are held together by lens-shaped rings of liquid. These cause adhesion because of the surface tension forces of the liquid-air interface and the hydrostatic suction pressure in the liquid bridge. When all the air has been displaced from between the particles, the (capillary state) is…
