Coatings are an essential part in the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage form to achieve
superior aesthetic quality (eg, color, texture, mouth feel, and taste masking), physical and …

Introduction: Pharmaceutical coating processes have generally been transformed from what
was essentially an art form in the mid-twentieth century to a much more technology-driven …

Owing to the difficulty in developing new drug moieties, greater emphasis is being given to
developing new drug delivery systems for existing drugs. The oral route is the major …

Aqueous-based film coating has become routine in the pharmaceutical industry. This
process eliminates the use of organic solvents and thus avoids economic, environmental …

The major aim of this study was to model the effect of two causal factors, ie coating weight
gain and amount of pectin–chitosan in the coating solution on the in vitro release profile of …

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of methylparaben, ibuprofen,
chlorpheniramine maleate and theophylline on the thermal and mechanical properties of …

The objective of the present study was to evaluate three formulation parameters for the
application of polymethacrylic films from aqueous dispersions in order to obtain …

A novel powder coating process was developed for the application of taste masking and
moisture protective films on tablets while avoiding the use of solvents or water. The …

During the formulation of solid dosage forms coating, plasticizers are added to the film
forming polymer to improve the mechanical properties of the coating shell of the drug …

The present work investigates release mechanisms of theophylline pellets coated with an
aqueous ethyl cellulose (EC) dispersion containing plasticizers and hydroxypropyl …
