There are varieties of problems that face the pharmaceutical world, some of which we will be discussing as well as solutions that would help solve these problems.

• Overwetting of the tablets/Surface pitting. This is where suspension droplets hit the still wet tablet and the drying air does not dry it enough.
• Physical damages overloading or unloading operation.
• Poor tablet design – flat surfaces.
• Spray Drying. The suspension droplets hit the tablet after the moisture has been removed. This leads to the poor adherence of the coat

Changing the tablet manufacturing process can lead to better and more improved quality products as well as cost efficiency for the company. By communicating with one’s tooling vendor and taking into consideration the right material type, one can overcome the many problems that tablet companies are facing today.

One of the major problems with sterile manufacturing is the possibility of contamination. The cleanroom area is one of the hardest places to maintain sterile or clean and is the major source of contamination.

The presence of unwanted materials such as dust and particles during the manufacturing and transportation time is called contamination. The term contaminants includes any unwanted matter that is found in the product. These contaminants affect the quality of the product or the process.

In the pharmaceutical world, there are certain medicine products that needs certain specific temperature in order to maintain its efficiency, structure and safety.

Coenzyme Q10, often called CoQ10, is a compound that occurs naturally in the human body. All the cells of the body produce this enzyme, which helps to produce energy for normal cell maintenance and growth.

The cup depth is the space between the punch tip and the lowest possible measurable area of a cup cavity. In order to form proper inspection and wear limits of the tooling equipment, it is important that one should know about it, and how premature wear can affect the tablet.

Medicines are a go to whenever one experiences health problems. From over the counter medicines to prescriptions, these pills have become vital to our everyday lives. Due to the advancement in technology, two different forms are now available – tablets and capsules. For some time, tablets are quite popular way of taking in medication or supplements; later on however, consumers discover the effects of taking tablets.

This is a frequently asked question on the TDP range. This range of single station pill press includes the TDP 1.5, TDP 5 and TDP 6s. The machines are very similar and the main distinction between them is the pressure that is exerted during tablet making.

The use of lubricants during manufacturing is crucial as it minimizes the friction between the different parts of the machine. Reducing friction is important as it can cause heating between parts. Adding lubricants also help reduce the tendency of parts to rust and decrease load in the machine.

It has always been difficult to market a tablet in the industry today. Aside from time and capital, research and development is also important; that said, one of the most difficult phases is the actual production of the tablet. Plenty of issues arise during production, including tablet quality to downtime of tablet equipment, which can result to delay in shipping of the product. There are steps that one can take to eliminate as well as minimize the issues before manufacturing actually begins.

One of the major problems that the tablet manufacturing companies faces is tablet sticking. This problem occurs when the granulation sticks to the punch surface causing deformed tablets, which is very costly not only for the manufacturers but also for the formulators. One way to alleviate this problem is using analytical method as well as create screening processes. Authorities or field experts are also looking for ways to create analytical models to identify the solutions quickly for specific problems.

Coating tablets with a thin polymer film can be an effective way to give your products a professional edge. High quality tablets can be quickly and easily produced using a tablet coating machine and the correct excipients . Unfortunately several defects can arise with coatings. The following list provides helpful remedies for common issues that may be encountered.

Pharmaceutical companies make use of different temperature sensors due to their accuracy. Currently three sensors are widely used in the industry. Below is a brief on the three sensors.

Solid dosage forms are forms or shapes where drug mixtures are placed, example of which include tablets and capsules. These solid dosage forms are administered orally.

Tablets are defined as Solid Pharmaceutical Dosage forms that contain drug substances. They may contain suitable diluents or are prepared through moulding or compression.

Parenteral preparations are sterile pharmaceutical products administered to the human body by injection. Only liquids can be injected which means that the pharmaceutical parenteral preparation must either be a liquid which can itself be injected safely, or it may be a material that can be diluted with sterile water (commonly referred to as ‘water for injection’) or other sterile solvent before it is administered. Liquids other than water must not interfere with the stability and efficacy of the preparation. Some substances may be added to increase the stability and efficacy of the preparation, but it is important that such additives do not cause adverse effects or toxicity. Coloring agents are not permitted in parenteral preparations.

Although LFA Tablet Presses specializes in Pill Presses and Tableting Equipment we understand that this is not always the best method of delivery. In this article we look into the other options available to you as a business with which to package and deliver your product.

A drug is defined as a mixture of compounds used in the pharmaceutical industry to treat and prevent diseases. The different drug forms help health care providers to administer the drug safely. In this article LFA discusses the different forms of drug dosing and how best you can use them in your business.
