Course description

View Course Outline

The most common pharmaceutical dosage is the oral solid dosage form, which includes both tablets and capsules. 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 or capsule is dependent upon the knowledge and expertise of the developers, formulators, and production staff. This training will start with descriptions of the dosage forms, the manufacturing systems used, and the evaluation of these forms. After an overview of the finished form has been presented, the session will cover the process and materials that are used in making these dosage forms.

The emphasis will be on understanding the terminology to allow participants to more effectively understand and communicate in the field of solid oral dosage forms.

  • Describe the various types of dosage forms, the process for production and the material properties needed.
  • Explain the basic physical concepts of powders needed for compression and consolidation.
  • Discuss the basics of the various systems involved in preparing powders for dosage forms
