Why do tablets, capsules, granules… have different drug forms?
01 meets the needs of different groups of people. If children prefer granules; For the elderly or those with difficulty swallowing, capsules or tablets are suitable.
The form of 02 drugs also directly affects the dissolution, release, and absorption of drugs, thereby affecting the therapeutic effect. For example, tablets can continuously release drugs and maintain stable blood drug concentrations; Capsules and granules have faster absorption, but they may have a certain stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract.
How are these different forms of drugs made?
Among them, wet granulation technology plays a crucial role. This technology forms particles of a certain size and shape by adding adhesives or wetting agents to drug powders, and through mixing, granulation, and other steps. These particles are not only the foundation of granules, but also important raw materials for capsules and tablets.
In the wet granulation process, the peristaltic pump plays an indispensable role. It is responsible for transporting liquid adhesives or wetting agents to ensure that the drug powder can uniformly and efficiently aggregate into particles. The high efficiency, uniformity, and accuracy of peristaltic pumps significantly improve the quality and consistency of drug particles, thereby ensuring the high efficiency and quality of drug production.
