A systematic comparison of four pharmacopoeial methods for measuring powder flowability
Abstract
Powder flow is one of the crucial factors affecting several pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Problems due to insufficient powder flow reduce production process efficiency and cause suboptimum product quality. The U.S. Pharmacopoeia has specified four methods to evaluate the…

Designing starch-based fenofibrate formulations using the melting method
Fenofibrate (FNF) is used to treat hyperlipidemia. However, FNF is a poorly water-soluble drug, and the dosage of commercial products is relatively high at 160 mg in a Lipidil® tablet. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an FNF-solid dispersion (SD) that solubilizes and stabilizes FNF. The…
