An evaluation of film coating materials and their predicted oro-esophageal gliding performance for…
Oral drug therapy is generally provided in the form of solid oral dosage forms (SODF) that have to be swallowed intact and move throughout the oro-esophageal system until reaching the stomach. Previous studies have provided evidence that the surface characteristics of SODF play an important role…

Design of xerogel pill with good swallowing performance through wet milling and drop freeze-drying…
A novel dosage form with dose-adjusting and swallow-assisting functions, named “xerogel pills,” was developed for pediatric or geriatric patients. It is a multiple-unit dosage form in which a single dose is divided into several pills. The pills are double-structured small spheres with an inner drug…
