Drug delivery as solid dosage forms is complex with a number of factors that can noticeably influence their therapeutic benefit. The drug must be stabilized in the tablet and at the same time be available for absorption in a short time after dosing [1]. The formulation and design of soluble oral tablets needs several factors to be considered.
Almac has developed a flexible paediatric dosage form consisting of minitablets filled into stickpacks using a robust manufacturing and filling process suitable for routine commercial manufacture.
Compression tooling and tablet press manufacturers are faced with ongoing challenges in the tablet manufacturing environments. Providing support in all aspects of the tablet compression process should be expected from your tooling and tablet press partner. These services should include: press operator training, maintenance/calibration services, quick delivery of replacement parts, tooling, tablet design and powder formulation support.
To demonstrate the process by which a placebo formulation was designed for an oral solid dose product that would be dispensed to the patient as a fast-dissolve tablet. The tablet is added to water and the resulting solution is dosed as a antibiotic mouthwash. Placebo matching was required not only for the tablet but also for the solution which the patient took.
Rapid and consistent in-vivo drug dissolution is critical for drug absorption. In-vitro dissolutions tests are used to predict in-vivo disintegration and dissolution properties of drug products. The in-vitro disintegration and dissolution times of tablets and capsules can vary significantly based on their composition and processing.
In this installation, materials are received in 50-pound bags and semi-bulk bags and are security screened for foreign objects while being conveyed to a weigh hopper, where they are automatically hatched in predetermined weights and discharged into process drums.
Medical prescription drug errors by doctors, pharmacists and patients account for 1.5 million incidences of sickness, injuries or deaths in the U.S. each year. By Jay Anbil and Steve Yoder
Pentapack advanced unit dose pharmaceutical blister packaging systems offer the unique capability to package both solid and liquid dose medications with one machine. Medications are clearly identified with bar code labeling software and high resolution label printing.
Using a cyclone on the extraction line facilitates interception of this powder before it ever leaves the process room, enabling high integrity batch reconciliation and minimizing filter replacement.
The 9505 stainless steel pneumatic conveyor is designed for the transfer of empty 00-5 sized capsules. Capsules are emptied into a collection container and dispensed at an adjustable rate into a capsule-filling machine. This unique conveyor uses air power to push the capsules through rigid sanitary piping into a hopper above the capsule-filling machine without damaging the capsules. The Nilfisk product conveying process takes place in perfect hygienic conditions, respecting both the environment and the operators’ health.
Pneumatic conveyors move powder and granules from sacks, big bags or other containers to the required location in selected quantities and within the desired time. The Nilfisk product conveying process takes place in perfect hygienic conditions, respecting both the environment and the operators’ health.

The homogenizer is working as a particles size reducer for particles in suspension in a liquid and to calibrate their size at a defined value.
A manual or automatic sampling valve can be adapted at the hopper or container powder outlet with a standard containment or bottle system.
