Studying the API Distribution of Controlled Release Formulations Produced via Continuous Twin-Screw…
Abstract
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a preferred hydrophilic matrix former for controlled release formulations produced through continuous twin-screw wet granulation. However, a non-homogeneous API distribution over sieve fractions with underdosing in the fines fraction (<150 µm) was…
