Water contents of superdisintegrant pharmaceutical excipients were determined by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy using simple linear regression. Water contents of the investigated three common superdisintegrants (crospovidone, croscarmellose sodium, sodium starch glycolate) varied over a wide range

Solventless photocurable film coating was used to obtain modified release coatings. Different pore-forming agents were used to achieve immediate and sustained release of a blue dye contained in the coated pellets (non-pareil beads). A super-disintegrant, sodium starch glycolate, was used

High shear wet granulation is a preferred manufacturing method of tablets. It allowed for rapid production of compressible granulations. The resultant granulation characteristics depend on a combination of formulation properties and processing parameters. Fully pregelatinized starches are currently being used
