Course Description

A Two-Day In Person Training Event with Demonstrations and Applications for Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Products
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.
 
The main aim of this 2-day intensive and accredited course is to review the science relating to formulation and process selection in the design of tabletted pharmaceutical products. The course begins with a consideration of the final process of making tablets. Knowing the targets, the course then reviews the functional design of the ingredients available, platform and processing selection criteria for placement of ingredients for performance and then Introduces design plans for meeting the challenges of the API and delivering the targeted therapy. The impact of the API, the chosen platform and the strategies for choosing the processes to obtain the targeted performance are reviewed. The program concludes with key aspects of scale up and technical transfers, the design principles of performance verification for setting up the operating/design space, investigation and eliminating risk. 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, Roller Compactors and Coaters/Coating Pans.
 
A Continental Breakfast at 8:00am, a one-hour lunch and two 15-minute breaks are planned each day.
