Introduction To Pharmaceutical Film Coatings

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.  As a reference, a  human hair is usually around 100 μm thick, much like the typical thickness of an immediate release coating.
