Co-processed excipients

Expert System for Drug Development, i.e. SeDeM Expert System (Span. Sistema Experto para DEsarrollo de Medicamentos) represents a method intended for evaluation of powder properties affecting processability, particularly compression behavior (Pérez et al., 2006). Additionally, it is recognized as…
