Q

Formulation and Pre-formulation Development

A
  • Initial stages of the drug R&D
  • Evaluation of uniformity and stability of formulations
  • Dosage form development
151
Q

Blending of Pharmaceutical Ingredients

A
  • Excipient blending prior to dosage form
  • API blending
  • Uniformity of the drug ingredients
  • Control of final blend (PSD, particle shape, moisture content, etc.)
152
Q

Granulation

A
  • In the simplest sense, granulation is the opposite of milling.
  • Process by which small particles are bound together to form larger
    particles, called granules.
  • Used to improve flow characteristics of powders and improve
    compactability for tablet formation.
