Fuse deposition modelling (FDM) has emerged as a novel technology for manufacturing 3D printed medicines. However, it is a two-step process requiring the fabrication of filaments using a hot melt extruder with suitable properties prior to…

Minitablets in orodispersible form constitute a flexible drug delivery tool for paediatric and geriatric population as they eliminate the risk of chocking and do not require drinking water in the application. Due to their direct contact…

Minitablets are an appealing option for an age-appropriate pediatric dosage form. In particular, for combination therapies where multiple active ingredients are dosed simultaneously, the use of minitablets will enable independent…

The selection of appropriate functional co-processed excipient (CPE) is a crucial stage in orodispersible minitablets (ODMTs) development. This paper aimed to identify the most important morphological attributes influencing the flowability…

The acceptability and palatability of a dosage form are extremely important to improve patient compliance. Mixing oral solid dosage forms with food carriers is often necessary to ease swallowing and provide the taste-masking effect. The…

This paper presents the output of a workshop held at the 11th Annual Conference of EuPFI (European Paediatric Formulation Initiative), in September 2019 in Malmo, Sweden, on the development of multiparticulates and minitablets as pediatric…

Dr. Maj-Britt Cepok from BENEO gives a brief overview of the possibilities of galenIQ™ for minitablets at CPhI Worldwide in Frankfurt . To find out more about this sweet filler binder, visit their stand in Hall 10.2 stand C11 and see our…

Tablets are the most widely-used drug delivery system.However, some patient groups including young children, the elderly and patients with dysphagia can have difficulty in swallowing conventional tablets. Especially due to their size and…

INTRODUCTION The benefit of orodispersible minitablets (ODMT) for treating pediatrics has been demonstrated. The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of a direct compression grade isomalt galenIQ™ 721,(BENEO-Palatinit) for…

Minitablets are solid oral forms, which, due to their size (1-3 mm), may be easily swallowed by children. The administration of minitablets in a certain number of units allows for flexible dosing for a broad age group of paediatric…
