Technical article: Preparation of Granules by Spray Drying
An alternative process is to produce the active in a granular form during primary pharmaceutical production. These granules can then be blended with the excipients during secondary production. Most excipients used today can be purchased in a quality suitable for direct compression and an additional granulation/drying step then is not required. Alternatively active and excipients can be mixed together in the liquid phase and then be dried- as granules- together. To do so it is necessary to carry out the drying at the end of primary production in a FSD™ (Fluidised Spray Dryer) spray dryer ... Read more and download
