Factors influencing release • size of drug particles
Factors influencing release • rate and extent of disintegration • choice and conc’n of disintegrant
Factors influencing release choice and conc’n of lubricant compression pressure
Processing Problems • capping, lamination, chipping
Processing problems • sticking • mottling • weight and hardness variation
Tablet Evaluation • these tests are mandatory in the US and the procedures are outlined in the USP • dose uniformity • by weight variation • by content • disintegration
Unofficial tests mechanical strength • attrition resistance (friability) • fracture resistance • porosity
