Abstract The bitter drug, warfarin, has a narrow therapeutic index (NTI) and is used in paediatrics and geriatrics. The aim of this feasibility study was to formulate the taste-masked warfarin-containing pellets to be applicable for dose personalisation and to improve patient compliance, as well as…

Porous hydroxyapatite (HAP) pellets were prepared by extrusion/spheronization/sintering and loaded with Lactobacillus (La-5). Micronized (PFm) or coarse size (PFc) microcrystalline cellulose were the pore formers, while HAP grades from Budenheim (Tri-cafos®) and Sigma-Aldrich with different specific…
