چکیده
www.pharmtech.com new chemical entity often is first formulated as a free-flowing granulation for encapsulation within hard gelatin capsules. During the course of clinical development, the drugcontaining granulation usually is modified for compaction into a tablet product. The tablet product subsequently may be film coated for taste masking, identification, or other purposes. Tablets are the most preferred and widely used dosage form because of their ease of administration, lower cost of manufacture, and elegance. In this article, we describe a means of producing tablet dosage forms (specifically, compression-coated tablets) from granulations or blends that do not readily form a compact. The compression-coating granulation or blend can be preformulated to provide desired functionalities to the coating. The only requirement for producing the compression-coated tablet dosage form described herein is that the core material should possess the ability to flow into a die during production. The method described may be used to produce compression-coated tablet dosage forms with minimal formulation development work. Most important, the equipment used for producing these compression-coated tablets is based on simple modifications of a traditional three-layer tablet press. Modern compression-coated products are made on specialized equipment in two separate operations: manufacture of core tablets on a traditional tablet press and the subsequent application of a compression-coating granulation. The compression-coating production process requires relatively complex machinery to encapsulate the core tablet within an outer granulation. The use of a Colton 232 tablet press is another slightly different method of making compressionA Novel Compression-Coated Tablet Dosage Form

متن کاملCompression of coated drug beads for sustained release tablet of glipizide: formulation, and dissolution.
A promising glipizide formulation comprising compression of four-layer coated beads into tablets was prepared. The tablet offered the advantages of: a two-hour lag time before drug release, retaining sustained release characteristics and providing approximately zero-order drug release. Drug release was nearly independent of paddle speeds of 50 and 100 rpm releasing 80% over 14 h similar to the ...

The aim of this study was to develop and optimize a segregation-free ethyl cellulose-coated extended release multiparticulate formulation to be compressed into tablets without affecting the drug release. Standard tableting excipients (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose, lactose or sorbitol) were layered onto ethyl cellulose-coated propranolol hydrochloride pellets to form a cushion layer in order...
