TABLETDESIGNANDFORMULATION
Tablet Design:
Objectives:
•to deliver orally the correct amount of drug in the
proper form
at or over the proper time and in the desired location
Ideal characteristics of tablets:
• should be an elegant product havingits
own
identity while being freeof defects such as
chips, cracks, discoloration,
contamination,and the like
• should have the strength to withstand the
rigors of mechanical shocks encountered inits
production, packaging&shipping.
must be able to release the medicinal agent(s)
in the body in a predictable and reproducible
