Oral lyophilizates obtained using aggressive drying conditions: Effect of excipients
Orodispersible drug formulations are a current trend in the pharmaceutical industry, mostly intended for pediatric and geriatric patients. Oral lyophilizates are solid forms, intended either to be placed in the mouth or to be dispersed (or dissolved) in water before administration. The correct…

Development and implementation of a pneumatic micro-feeder for poorly-flowing solid pharmaceutical…
Consistent powder micro-feeding (< 100 g/h) is a significant challenge in manufacturing solid oral dosage forms. The low dose feeding can well control the content consistency of the dosage forms, which improves drug efficiency and reduces manufacturing waste. Current commercial micro-feeders are…

COMBILOSE: A novel lactose-based co-processed excipient for direct compression
Lactose is the commonly used diluent in the manufacturing of tablets dosage form. However, the poor flowability and compressibility of lactose limit its use as a directly compressible filler binder. In this research work, composite excipient COMBILOSE was developed as a directly compressible filler…
