AquaPolish® PRO: Film coating with reliable protection, flexible film properties and high productivity
AquaPolish® PRO is an immediate release film coating with moisture barrier effect to prevent solid dosage forms from taking up humidity.…
Moisture sealing film coating system for solid oral dosage forms
AquaPolish® MS: Moisture sealing film coating system for solid oral dosage forms.
Protecting moisture-sensitive substances from environmental moisture is one of the biggest challenges in the pharmaceutical and nutritional supplements…
Developing methodology to evaluate the oral sensory features of pharmaceutical tablet coatings
Acceptability of medicines is critical for effective pharmacotherapy.
The aim of this study was to investigate the oral sensory properties of tablet coatings to determine how mouthfeel can improve acceptability. A randomised double-blind…
Achieving gastroresistance without coating: Formulation of capsule shells from enteric polymers
Capsules are a widely used oral dosage form due to their simplicity and ease of manufacture.
They are equally popular for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products and since they do not need extensive formulation development, it is…
Controlled dissolution of freeform 3D printed carbohydrate glass scaffolds in hydrogels using a…
Freeform 3D printing combined with sacrificial molding promises to lead advances in production of highly complex tubular systems for biomedical applications. Here we leverage a purpose-built isomalt 3D printer to generate complex channel…
Fundamental evaluation and optimization of porous spherical silica for developing functional fine…
Particle coating, a taste-masking technique for drugs, is limited by its long manufacturing time, which is caused by the decrease in the spray rate required to prevent particle agglomeration.
Mesoporous silica particles, which have a…
An Update of Moisture Barrier Coating for Drug Delivery
Drug hydrolytic degradation, caused by atmospheric and inherent humidity, significantly reduces the therapeutic effect of pharmaceutical solid dosages.
Moisture barrier film coating is one of the most appropriate and effective approaches…
Real time MRI to elucidate the functionality of coating films intended for modified release
Polymer films based on mixtures of ethyl cellulose (EC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) have been widely used to coat pellets and tablets to modify the release profile of drugs.
For three different EC/HPC films we used 1H and 19F MRI…
Effect of coating time on inter- and intra-tablet coating uniformity
Film tablets are a common oral dosage form. For many of the functions film layers can have on pharmaceutical tablets, a high degree of coating uniformity is required.
In studies on coating uniformity the coefficient of variation is…
