Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is an effective approach for enhancing the solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, these metastable forms can transform into more thermodynamically stable, less soluble crystalline forms. Despite this…

Optimizing twin-screw melt granulation: The role of overflight clearance on granulation behavior
Abstract
Twin-screw melt granulation (TSMG) relies on the dispersive and distributive mixing at the kneading zone for granule growth to happen highlighting the critical role played by the kneading elements in TSMG. Despite extensive research conducted on the impact of screw geometry in melt…

Taste Masking of Dexketoprofen Trometamol Orally Disintegrating Granules by High-Shear Coating with…
Abstract
Orally disintegrating granules (ODGs) are a pharmaceutical form commonly used for the administration of NSAIDs because of their easy assumption and fast dispersion. The development of ODGs is not easy for drugs like dexketoprofen trometamol (DXKT), which have a bitter and burning taste. In…
