PART 5 Flashcards
It contains drug substances usually prepared with the aid of suitable excipients
Tablets
METHODS OF PREPARATION FOR TABLETS
___ tablets are prepared using the molding method.
Soft
METHODS OF PREPARATION FOR TABLETS
___ tablets are made by compression method.
Hard
METHODS OF PREPARATION FOR TABLETS
Forcing dampened powder material into a mold from which the formed tablet is then ejected and allowed to dry.
Molding method
METHODS OF PREPARATION FOR TABLETS
Manufactured with tablet machines capable of exerting great pressure in compacting the powdered or granulated material. Their shape and dimensions are determined by the use of various shaped punches and dies.
Compression method (Wet granulation method, dry granulation method, or by direct compression)
