INTRODUCTION
 Compression-
Compression is a process of applying pressure to the powder
material for the reduction of bulk volume to give a solid matrix.
 It is a process by which granules are compressed into the core tablet form.
 The manufacturing of solid dossage form such as a complex multistage
process under which the starting material change there physical
characteristics a number of time before the final dossage form is produced.
Need of Compression-
 To form the unit dossage form
 For better stability as compare to other dossage form
 Cost effective
 Patient compliance
