After granulation, the granules will be transferred to the next step of product shaping.
The drug can be shaped into tablets or capsules. After being pressed into tablets, depending on the product requirements, the tablets will be put into the coating machine to carry out the film coating or sugar coating process.
Coating is the process of covering the tablet with a layer of film for the purpose of:
- Controlling the release of the drug over a long period of time (determined release time and location)
- Neutralizing unpleasant odors
- Creating a beautiful form and shape
- Protecting the tablet from environmental factors (air, humidity, light)
- Creating color, trademarks and brand recognition
