Lubricant excipients are substances that are added to tablet formulations to aid in the tableting process and to improve the flow of powders during the manufacturing of tablets. These excipients reduce friction and prevent the sticking of the tablet material to the surface of the die and punches, allowing for smoother tablet production and reducing the wear and tear on the tableting equipment.

Investigation of Dispersion Kinetics of Particulate Lubricants and their Effect on the Mechanical…
Abstract
Introduction
Tablets are commonly produced by internally adding particulate lubricants, which are known to possibly lower the mechanical strength of tablets. This reduction is caused by the coverage of matrix forming components by lubricant particles, resulting in decreased…

Investigating the Impact of Co-processed Excipients on the Formulation of Bromhexine Hydrochloride…
Abstract
Purpose
Orodispersible tablets (orally disintegrating tablets, ODTs) have been used in pharmacotherapy for over 20 years since they overcome the problems with swallowing solid dosage forms. The successful formula manufactured by direct compression shall ensure acceptable mechanical…

Comparison of properties on Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) produced by direct compression or…
Abstract
Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the…
