Excipient Selection Considerations
The selection of the excipients(s) for a tablet formulation should take into account the API properties, process, target formulation and potential impact on the formulation. Some of those API properties can be
- Dose
- Particle Size
- Flow Properties
- Bulk Density
- Moisture Content
- Hygroscopicity
- Excipient Compatibility
- Compactability
The following tables show some possible impacts on the tablet formulaion and considerations to take into account. Pharmaexcipients.com thanks Fred Monsuur, Grace for the valuable data.
