This definitive reference explores the various aspects of multiparticulate dosage form development-assessing the
in vivo behavior and performance of multiparticulates as well as comparing their market position to other dosage forms. It discusses alternative pelletization techniques such as balling (spherical agglomeration), spray congealing, and cryopelletization. The book also covers formulation and processing variables that affect the formation, integrity, and performance of coatings derived from molten materials and polymeric solutions and dispersions and details the idiosyncrasies of the manufacturing process of hard-shell gelatin capsules.
