INTRODUCTION

TABLET - SOLID DOSAGE FORM Tablets are solid dosage form containing ingredients with or without filler material. Based on the method of manufacture, can be classified as a printed tablet and compressed tablet Compressed tablets are made with high pressure in powder or granule using a steel mold Printed tablet made by pressing the moist powder mass with low pressure into the mold hole. The density of the tablet depends on the bond crystals formed during the drying process, it has been very rarely used

In this case, the capsule is a cheaper way out

Tablet properties
Tablets can be made in virtually any shape, although requirements of patients and tableting machines mean that most are round, oval or capsule shaped. More unusual shapes have been manufactured but patients find these harder to swallow, and they are more vulnerable to chipping or manufacturing problems. Tablet diameter and shape are determined by the machine tooling used to produce them a die plus an upper and a lower punch are required. This is called a station of tooling. The thickness is determined by the amount of tablet material and the position of the punches in relation to each other during compression. Once this is done, we can measure the corresponding pressure applied during compression. The shorter the distance between the punches, thickness, the greater the pressure applied during compression, and sometimes the harder the tablet. Tablets need to be hard enough that they don't break up in the bottle, yet friable enough that they disintegrate in the gastric tract. Tablets need to be strong enough to resist the stresses of packaging, shipping and handling by the pharmacist and patient. The mechanical strength of tablets is assessed 9 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics using a combination of (i) simple failure and erosion tests, and (ii) more sophisticated engineering tests. The simpler tests are often used for quality control purposes, whereas the more complex tests are used during the design of the formulation and manufacturing process in the research and development phase. Standards for tablet properties are published in the various international pharmacopeias (USP/NF, EP, JP, etc.).

Manufacture of the tableting blend

In the tablet pressing process, the main guideline is to ensure that the appropriate amount of active ingredient is in each tablet. Hence, all the ingredients should be well-mixed. If a sufficiently homogenous mix of the components cannot be obtained with simple blending processes, the ingredients must be granulated prior to compression to assure an even distribution of the active compound in the final tablet. Two basic techniques are used to granulate powders for compression into a tablet: wet granulation and dry granulation. Powders that can be mixed well do not require granulation and can be compressed into tablets through direct compression.

Wet granulation
Wet granulation is a process of using a liquid binder to lightly agglomerate the powder mixture. The amount of liquid has to be properly controlled, as over-wetting will cause 10 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics the granules to be too hard and under-wetting will cause them to be too soft and friable. Aqueous solutions have the advantage of being safer to deal with than solvent-based systems but may not be suitable for drugs which are degraded by hydrolysis. Procedure Step 1: The active ingredient and excipients are weighed and mixed. Step 2: The wet granulate is prepared by adding the liquid binderadhesive to the powder blend and mixing thoroughly. Examples of binders/adhesives include aqueous preparations of cornstarch, natural gums such as acacia, cellulose derivatives such as methyl cellulose, gelatin, and povidone. Step 3: Screening the damp mass through a mesh to form pellets or granules. Step 4: Drying the granulation. A conventional tray-dryer or fluid-bed dryer are most commonly used. Step 5: After the granules are dried, they are passed through a screen of smaller size than the one used for the wet mass to create granules of uniform size. Low shear wet granulation processes use very simple mixing equipment, and can take a considerable time to achieve a uniformly mixed state. High shear wet granulation processes use equipment that mixes the powder and liquid at a very fast rate, and thus speeds up the manufacturing process. Fluid bed granulation is a multiple-step wet granulation process performed in the same vessel to pre-heat, granulate, and dry the powders. It is used because it allows close control of the granulation process.

Dry granulation
Dry granulation processes create granules by light compaction of the powder blend under 11 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics low pressures. The compacts so-formed are broken up gently to produce granules (agglomerates). This process is often used when the product to be granulated is sensitive to moisture and heat. Dry granulation can be conducted on a tablet press using slugging tooling or on a roll press called a roller compactor. Dry granulation equipment offers a wide range of pressures to attain proper densification and granule formation. Dry granulation is simpler than wet granulation, therefore the cost is reduced. However, dry granulation often produces a higher percentage of fine granules, which can compromise the quality or create yield problems for the tablet. Dry granulation requires drugs or excipients with cohesive properties, and a 'dry binder' may need to be added to the formulation to facilitate the formation of granules.

Granule lubrication
After granulation, a final lubrication step is used to ensure that the tableting blend does not stick to the equipment during the tableting process. This usually involves low shear blending of the granules with a powdered lubricant, such as magnesium stearate or stearic acid.

Manufacture of the tablets

Whatever process is used to make the tableting blend, the process of making a tablet by powder compaction is very similar. First, the powder is filled into the die from above. The mass of powder is determined by the position of the lower punch in the die, the cross-sectional area of the die, and the powder density. At this stage, adjustments to the tablet weight are normally made by repositioning the lower punch. After die filling, the upper punch is lowered into the die and the powder is uniaxially compressed to a porosity 12 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics of between 5 and 20%. The compression can take place in one or two stages (main compression, and, sometimes, pre-compression or tamping) and for commercial production occurs very fast (50050 msec per tablet). Finally, the upper punch is pulled up and out of the die (decompression), and the tablet is ejected from the die by lifting the lower punch until its upper surface is flush with the top face of the die. This process is simply repeated many times to manufacture multiple tablets. Common problems encountered during tablet manufacturing operations include: poor (low) weight uniformity, usually caused by uneven powder flow into the die poor (low) content uniformity, caused by uneven distribution of the API in the tableting blend

sticking of the powder blend to the tablet tooling, due to inadequate lubrication, worn or dirty tooling, and sub-optimal material properties capping, lamination or chipping. Such mechanical failure is due to improper formulation design or faulty equipment operation.

Tablet compaction simulator

Tablet formulations are designed and tested using a laboratory machine called a Tablet Compaction Simulator or Powder Compaction Simulator. This is a computer controlled device that can measure the punch positions, punch pressures, friction forces, die wall pressures, and sometimes the tablet internal temperature during the compaction event. Numerous experiments with small quantities of different mixtures can be performed to optimise a formulation. Mathematically corrected punch motions can be programmed to simulate any type and model of production tablet press. Initial quantities of active 13 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics pharmaceutical ingredients are very expensive to produce, and using a Compaction Simulator reduces the amount of powder required for product development.

Tablet presses

14 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics

An old Cadmach rotary tablet pressTablet presses, also called tableting machines, range from small, inexpensive bench-top models that make one tablet at a time (single-station presses), with only around a half-ton pressure, to large, computerized, industrial models (multi-station rotary presses) that can make hundreds of thousands to millions of tablets an hour with much greater pressure. The tablet press is an essential piece of machinery for any pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturer. Common manufacturers of tablet presses include Fette, Korsch, Kikusui, Manesty, IMA and Courtoy. Tablet presses must allow the operator to adjust the position of the lower and upper punches accurately, so that the tablet weight, thickness and density can each be controlled. This is achieved using a series of cams, rollers, and/or tracks that act on the tablet tooling (punches). Mechanical systems are also incorporated for die filling, and for ejecting and removing the tablets from the press after compression. Pharmaceutical tablet presses are required to be easy to clean and quick to reconfigure with different tooling, because they are usually used to manufacture many different products.Tablet coating. Many tablets today are coated after being pressed. Although sugar-coating was popular in the past, the process has many drawbacks. Modern tablet coatings are polymer and polysaccharide based, with plasticizers and pigments included. Tablet coatings must be stable and strong enough to survive the handling of the tablet, must not make tablets stick together during the coating process, and must follow the fine contours of embossed characters or logos on tablets. Coatings are necessary for tablets that have an unpleasant taste, and a smoother finish makes large tablets easier to swallow. Tablet coatings are also useful to extend the shelf-life of components that are sensitive to moisture or 15 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics oxidation. Special coatings (for example with pearlescent effects) can enhance brand recognition.If the active ingredient of a tablet is sensitive to acid, or is irritant to the stomach lining, an enteric coating can be used, which is resistant to stomach acid, and dissolves in the less acidic area of the intestines. Enteric coatings are also used for medicines that can be negatively affected by taking a long time to reach the small intestine, where they are absorbed. Coatings are often chosen to control the rate of dissolution of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract. Some drugs will be absorbed better at different points in the digestive system. If the highest percentage of absorption of a drug takes place in the stomach, a coating that dissolves quickly and easily in acid will be selected. If the rate of absorption is best in the large intestine or colon, then a coating that is acid resistant and dissolves slowly would be used to ensure it reached that point before dispersing.

The Tablet Coating Process

Many solid pharmaceutical dosage mediums are produced with coatings, either on the external surface of tablets, or on materials dispensed within gelatine capsules. Coating serves a number of purposes: Protects the tablet (or the capsule contents) from stomach acids Protects the stomach lining from aggressive drugs such as enteric coated aspirin Provides a delayed release of the medication Helps maintain the shape of the tablet

16 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics Ideally, the tablet should release the material gradually and the drug should be available for digestion beyond the stomach. The coating can be specially formulated to regulate how fast the tablet dissolves and where the active drugs are to be absorbed into the body after ingestion. Many factors can affect the end-use properties of pharmaceutical tablets: Chemical composition Coating process Drying time Storage and environmental monitoring

Coating Process Design & Control

Tablet coating takes place in a controlled atmosphere inside a perforated rotating drum. Angled baffles fitted into the drum and air flow inside the drum provide means of mixing the tablet bed. As a result, the tablets are lifted and turned from the sides into the centre of the drum, exposing each tablet surface to an even amount of deposited/sprayed coating.

17 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics

The liquid spray coating is then dried onto the tablets by heated air drawn through the tablet bed from an inlet fan. The air flow is regulated for temperature and volume to provide controlled drying and extracting rates, and at the same time, maintaining the drum pressure slightly negative relative to the room in order to provide a completely isolated process atmosphere for the operator. Tablet coating equipment may include spray guns, coating pan, polishing pans, solution tanks, blenders and mixers, homogenizers, mills, peristaltic pumps, fans, steam jackets, exhaust and heating pipes, scales and filters. Tablet coating processes may include sugar coating (any mixtures of purified water, cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl, gums and sugar) or film coating (purified water, cellulose derivatives). The coating process is usually a batch driven task consisting of the following phases: Batch identification and Recipe selection (film or sugar coating) Loading/Dispensing (accurate dosing of all required raw materials) WarmingSpraying (application and rolling are carried out simultaneously) Drying Cooling Unloading A control system must therefore provide flexibility in the way in which accurate and repeatable control of the coating environment is achieved and will include the following features: Precise loop control with setpoint profile programming Recipe Management System for easy parameterization 18 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Sequential control for complex control strategies Secure collection of on-line data from the coating system for analysis and evidence Local operator display with clear graphics and controlled access to parameters The EyconTM Visual Supervisor is an ideal solution for the tablet coating process.

Types of Tablet Coating

Tablet coating means covering tablets with one or more than one layers of materials like natural or synthetic resins ,gums ,inactive and insoluble filler, sugar, plasticizer, polyhydric alcohol, waxes, authorized coloring material and some times flavoring material. There are various types of tablet coating techniques which are described below :

Sugar Coating
Sugar coating involves coating tablets with colored or uncolored sugar layer. This coating is soluble in water and dissolves completely when swallowed. Apart from improving the appearance of the tablet, sugar coating makes it easy to imprint manufacturing information on tablet. It increases the size and weight of the tablet. Sugar coating is a five stage process involving following steps: Sealing/water proofing Sub coating Grossing/smoothing Coloring Polishing

Film Coating
19 Vagdevi College Of Pharmacy & Research Center

Dept. of Pharmaceutics In film coating, a thin layer of polymer is applied on the tablet core. Film coating involves the use of film formers namely Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC),Methyl Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose (MHEC),Ethyl Cellulose (EC),Hydroxy Propyl Cellulose (HPC), Povidone,Sodium carboxy methyl cellulose,Polyethylene glycols (PEG),Acrylate polymers.

Enteric Coating
The tablet core gets disintegrated in the environment, so to prevent disintegration, enteric coating is used. This type of coating may be a one layer system or two layer system. It is non toxic, cheap and resists gastric fluids.

Specialized Coating
Compressed coating, electrostatic coating, dip coating, vacuum film coating are specialized coating techniques involving the use of a special machine.
