Easy Tableting with Natural Disintegrants
Evaluation of a new disintegrant mixture from natural resources
Introduction
Tablet disintegration is most often required to divide a tablet into suitably small sub-units that facilitate achievement of the desired drug dissolution rate. While semi-synthetic or synthetic super-disintegrants are…
