Abstract We study the response of two twin-screw granulators of different barrel diameter to the variation of three process parameters (liquid-to-solid ratio, screw speed and throughput), while maintaining the same shear rate field along the screws. Various responses, including size distribution,…

Abstract Chlorothiazide (CTZ), a widely used thiazide diuretic, exhibits poor and variable oral bioavailability due to site-specific absorption and carrier-mediated saturable transport in the upper gastrointestinal tract. This study aimed to develop mucoadhesive controlled-release pellets of CTZ to…
