The author assesses the compressibility of Plasdone S- 630 copovidone-based tablet formulations using roller-compaction and direct-compression processes.

This comparative study suggests that pregelatinized starches are superior to natural starches in terms of improving the plastic deformation in tablet formulations during compression.

This study attempts to determine the combination of excipients found in commercial ASA products that would be suitable for use in an aqueous enteric film&#173coating process.

The authors describe a methodology to evaluate various gelatin raw materials with respect to their stability and resistance to cross&#173linking.

Both academia and industry have been encouraged to generate quick&#173dissolving dosage forms as the demand for fast&#173disintegrating tablets and capsules has steadily increased.

To aid the fomulation scientist in selecting the optimal excipients for the preparation of vaginal products, the authors have compiled a list of all presently available vaginal excipients, including their functional categories and regulatory status.
