Continuous manufacturing

Pharmaceutical industries and drug regulatory agencies are inclining towards continuous manufacturing due to better control over the processing conditions and in view to improve product quality. In the present work, continuous manufacturing of O/W emulgel by melt extrusion process was explored using…
