The main aim of this course is to review the science relating to tabletted and encapsulated pharmaceutical products. The course begins with a consideration of raw material testing and the basic aspects of powder and granulation technology, progresses through formulation of solid dosage forms to manufacturing processes and equipment including scaleup and technology transfer. The program concludes with key aspects of the evaluation of finished products and the regulatory constraints that must be considered at each stage.
