Course Description

Solid oral dosage forms, or more commonly tablets, are the most common type of dosage form for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. Yet, what may appear to the eye as just a very simple tablet can be fraught with hidden complexities. There are many different ways to manufacture these products starting with the appropriate selection of excipients all the way through the production of the finished product. Ultimately, the successful production of a tablet is dependent upon the knowledge and expertise of the developers, formulators, and production staff.

In addition to the process for material placement extensively described, participants will gain experience through hand on laboratory projects/demonstrations. By doing so, the participant is given both the knowledge and experience to choose both ingredients and process to meet the challenges in formulation development. The experimental planning process is reviewed with examples to develop and verify the design space and justify performance. This enables the participants to make statistically sound and safe process and formulation decisions.The program concludes with key aspects of scale Up and technical transfers and risk elimination. Examples, evaluation, problem-solving and regulatory constraints are discussed at each stage.

Formal sessions of the course are supplemented with demonstrations of relevant machinery including Tablet Presses, High Shear Mixers / Granulators, Fluid Bed Dryers/Processors, Mills, Mixers, Roller Compactors and Coaters/Coating Pans.

Please note schedule: April 5th and 6th – 8:30am-5:00pm and April 7th 8:30am-12:00pm EDT. A Continental Breakfast at 8:00am, a one-hour lunch and two 15-minute breaks are planned each day.
