Abstract In a recent study, it was demonstrated that improving flow of a model poorly flowing and poorly compactable drug substance, acetaminophen, via dry-coating while using fine excipients may promote direct compression. To validate this novel strategy, particularly for high drug loading formulations, this study investigates the effect of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) particle size and dry-coating on powder tabletability and flowability. It was determined that blends containing fine-sized...
