A wide variety of pharmaceutical products, including pellets, granules, capsules, powders, and crystals are often coated. The procedure of coating tablets is a complex process that results in the forming of a thin layer around the tablet. This layer is in the range of 20 to 200 μm in thickness, or around 1 to 9% of the initial weight of the tablet.
