Pellets
 What are the pellets?
. Multiple unit dosage form
. Small, free flowing, and spherical
Manufactured by agglomeration process
. Size – 0.5-1.5 mm
2.
Advantages and disadvantage of
pellets
 Advantages
 Uniformity of dose
 Good flow property
 Easy to handle
 Prevention of dust formation
 Controlled release
 Better drug formation
3.
• Disadvantage
• Cost
• Tableting
• Tough
• Equipments
Commonly used excipients for pellets
preparation

Production of Pellets
 Drug layering
A) Powder layering
B) Solution/Suspension layering
 Extrusion spherionization
 Cryopelletization
 Compression
 Balling
 Hot melt extrusion
5.
(1) Drug layering
 A) Powder layering
It is most widely and easy method which is used in formation of pellets.
Powdered drug and excipients or both preformed to form cores with the aid
of binding liquid.
Both are added simulataneously in a controlled manner.
6.

 B) Solution/ Suspension layering
7.
Fig. - 2
2) Extrusion Spherionization
 This is the machinery based technique in which drug
solution and Binder solution mixed together and by
compression they are converted into small pellets.
 They are smooth and small size pellets.
 They are very spherical in nature.
8.
3) Cryopelletization
 A process in wgich droplets of liquid formulation are converted in solid
spherical particles or pellets by using liquid nitrogen as the fixing medium.
9.
Fig. - 3
4) Compression
 In this method, binder solution and drug solution are mixed
together and form large lumps.
 With the help of compression technique, the pressure is
applied and forms small granules or they are converted into
small pellets.
10.
5) Balling
 In this technique, binder solution and drug solution binds
together with the help of large machine by the equipments
and converted into the ball form.
11.
6) Hot Melt extrusion
 In this technique, the Binder solution is melt at high
temperature.
 It is same as bolling process.
 In this method, pellets are obtained in the form of balls.
