How Does Tablet Shape, Identity and Print Area Affect Printing Quality?
As advancements in drug-development technology continue, solid oral dosage forms (SODFs) are now produced in an ever-expanding range of shapes, sizes, colours and material compositions. With multiple coating options available to enhance a drug’s appearance, texture and taste, the customisation possibilities seem virtually limitless. These wide-ranging physical variations exist for several purposes, from achieving specific […]
Adding NIR Spectroscopy for Improved Safety and Precision in Controlled Release Tablets
Controlled-release pharmaceutical tablets have long been a cornerstone of modern medicine. From critical heart medications to diabetes management, precise drug delivery mechanisms play a crucial role in patient treatment. However, achieving consistent and predictable drug release profiles remains a significant challenge due to the complexities involved in manufacturing these sophisticated dosage forms. Understanding Osmotic-Controlled Release […]
The Impact of Physical Attributes of Tablets on Tablet Imprinting with Ink
Tablet imprinting is sometimes necessary for ensuring precise identification, brand differentiation and regulatory compliance. However a tablet’s shape, dimensions and surface lubricity significantly impacts the ability to effectively imprint ink logos on them. In practice it is found that many tablets do not lend themselves well to imprinting of logos at high speeds and often […]
