The aim of this study is to determine favorable process conditions for the coating of placebo tablets. Tablets made of microcrystalline cellulose are coated with hydroxypropyl cellulose polymer and Advantia™ Prime polymeric mixture film in lab-scale fluid-bed environment with a Wurster tube. In order to determine favorable process conditions (concentration, Wurster tube position, inlet air temperature, and atomization pressure), evaluation factors expressing process efficiency were...

The objective of this study was to formulate once-a-day extended-release (ER) pellet system of imidafenacin (IDN), a recently approved urinary antispasmodic agent with twice-a-day dosing regimen. The sugar sphere pellets were firstly layered with IDN and hypromellose and then coated with Eudragit RS (copolymers of acrylic and methacrylic acid esters), employed as a release modifier, using a fluid-bed coater. Solid-state characterizations using solid-state X-ray diffraction and differential...
