Solid oral dosage forms such as tablets and capsules represent the most common type of pharmaceutical products produced. In the patient’s hand, a tablet can seem like a simple product not knowing there are numerous complexities that go into its manufacture. But for the manufacturer, without a clear understanding of the science behind the ingredients or the expertise in the granulation and compression process, unacceptable finished products may be produced.

The main purpose of this 2-hour accredited training course is to provide an introductory review of the process of making tablets. Once the tablet process requirements are understood, the material needs for both tableting and mixing are covered. The focus on mixing is by Direct Compression process. Here the course deals with mixture designs, mixing strategies, and mixture design verification. Handling and feeding systems are discussed with the target of prevention of segregation. The course concludes with generating tablet design verification data and development of failure investigation strategies.

This course is intended for all scientists and technologists interested in developing a basic understanding of the critical process, materials, and in-process test used in the manufacturing of tablets by direct compression and failure investigation.

The material will be presented in such a way as to be of value to varying levels of expertise. This course will especially benefit those in:
– Regulatory Affairs
– QA/QC
– Validation
– Manufacturing
– R & D
– Engineering
– Suppliers
