Spray drying Eudragit® E-PO with acetaminophen using 2- and 3-fluid nozzles for taste masking
Conventional spray drying using a 2-fluid nozzle forms matrix microparticles, where drug is distributed throughout the particle and may not effectively mask taste. In contrast, spray drying using a 3-fluid nozzle has been reported to encapsulate material. The objective of this study was to spray dry…
