TABLETS • a mixture of powders compacted to form a single, rigid body • most common dosage form • possess a number of advantages CHEE 440
Types • intended for release into GIT • compressed tablets • multiple compressed tablets • effervescents • chewable • buccal or sublingual • vaginal • coated tablets • polymer film, gelatin • extended release • immediate release CHEE 440
Desired Properties • contains stated amount of drug • able to withstand stresses of manufacture, transport and handling • provides desired bioavailability • acceptable to patient CHEE 440
Drug Release CHEE 440
Tabletting Process • Basics • powders fed into a die • powder compressed between punches • tablet ejected from die CHEE 440
Machinery rotary tablet press CHEE 440
Tablet Components • drug (5-10%) • fillers (80%) • binders • disintegrants • antifrictional agents • antiadherents, glidants, lubricants • miscellaneous CHEE 440
Tabletting • Powder Properties • free flowing particles • cohesion of particles upon compaction • compacted particles must not adhere to punches and die • 3 tabletting methods • wet granulation • dry granulation • direct compression CHEE 440
Powder flow • important to obtain uniform flow • affected by particle properties • adhesion • cohesion • size • shape • density CHEE 440
Powders • packing geometry • shifting under vibration • affected by size and size distribution CHEE 440
Powders • flow affected by hopper design • How to improve hopper flow? CHEE 440
