    To measure the disintegration time of the tablet coating and the tablet core, automatic disintegration testers are used which are able to determine the complete disintegration process of a tablet by measuring the rest height of the thickness with every upward stroke of the disintegration tester basket.

  3. Tableting - Wikipedia

    Further measured parameters are weight, thickness, diameter, disintegration time, friability, and abrasion. Friability and abrasion testing is performed in rotating testing drums, designed according to the pharmacopeia. The measured parameter is weight loss before and after testing and tumbling the tablets at a particular time and speed.

  4. Film coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_coating

    A film coating is a thin polymer-based coat that is typically sprayed onto solid pharmaceutical dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, pellets or granules.Film coating can impact both its appearance and its pharmacokinetics making it an essential process in making the final drug product.

  5. Pharmaceutical formulation - Wikipedia

    The dissolution time can be modified for a rapid effect or for sustained release. Special coatings can make the tablet resistant to the stomach acids such that it only disintegrates in the duodenum, jejunum and colon as a result of enzyme action or alkaline pH. Pills can be coated with sugar, varnish, or wax to disguise the taste ...

  6. Tablet hardness testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_hardness_testing

    Tablet hardness testing is a laboratory technique used by the pharmaceutical industry to determine the breaking point and structural integrity of a tablet and find out how it changes "under conditions of storage, transportation, packaging and handling before usage" [1] The breaking point of a tablet is based on its shape. [2]

  7. Enteric coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteric_coating

    An enteric coating is a polymer barrier applied to oral medication that prevents its dissolution or disintegration in the gastric environment. [1] This helps by either protecting drugs from the acidity of the stomach, the stomach from the detrimental effects of the drug, or to release the drug after the stomach (usually in the upper tract of the intestine). [2]

  9. Thin-film drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_drug_delivery

    Thin-film drug delivery uses a dissolving film or oral drug strip to administer drugs via absorption in the mouth (buccally or sublingually) and/or via the small intestines (enterically). A film is prepared using hydrophilic polymers that rapidly dissolves on the tongue or buccal cavity, delivering the drug to the systemic circulation via ...
