Spherical Agglomerates of Lactose Reduce Segregation in Powder Blends and Improve Uniformity of…
We report here on improved uniformity of blends of micronised active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) using addition of spherical agglomerates of lactose and enhanced blend flow to improve tablet content uniformity with higher API loads. Micromeritic properties and intra-particle porosity (using…

Solving Compactability Issues for the Preparation of ODTs
Introduction
Formulators often face compactability issues for the preparation of orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) where active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are poorly compressible or formed in a coated pellet. HiSORAD™, one of the best-in-class co-processed excipient for ODT, may work as…

Omyanutra® 300 DC – Direct compressible, porous excipient for nutraceuticals
Producing nutraceuticals in solid dosage form is complex and faces many challenges. In production, manufacturers choose either wet or dry granulation, or, which is becoming more popular, direct compression. Direct compression (DC) results in the shortest, most efficient and least complex way to…

Compression of amorphous solid dispersions prepared by hot-melt extrusion, spray drying and vacuum…
The present study explored vacuum drum drying (VDD) as an alternative technology for amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) manufacture compared to hot-melt extrusion (HME) and spray drying (SD) focusing on downstream processability (powder properties, compression behavior and tablet performance).…

Effect of binder type and lubrication method on the binder efficacy for direct compression
The effect of different binders for direct compression on tablet critical quality attributes was investigated. Dicalcium phosphate, lactose and microcrystalline cellulose were used as fillers and combined with ten binders (10, 20 and 30% w/w). Binder properties were linked to tensile strength via…

The right spray-dried lactose product for direct compression
Spray-drying (SD) opened the door for lactose in Direct Compression (DC) and had a major impact on tableting technology. After initial quality problems, SD lactose has become a very frequently used, robust excipient grade in pharmaceutical formulation design.
Nowadays, pharma grade lactose is…
