A REVIEW ON ADVANCES IN TABLETING TECHNIQUES

Bipin R. Patel* and Dr. Rakesh P. Patel

ABSTRACT

The number of products based on new drug delivery systems has significantly increased in the past few years, and this growth is expected to continue in the near future. Tablet dosage form is most convenient and relevant dosage form. Innovation in tablet dosage form can be made to provide product of higher ―selectivity‖ for the drug for medical treatment. At present, there are so many existing drug delivery technologies that a total compilation is not within the scope of this article. Yet an attempt is being made to compile some of the most successfully marketed drug delivery technologies. The present review focuses on innovation in tablet system. Various systems like OSDrC concept, Accu-break technology, DiffCORE technology, GEOMATRIX technology, Tab in Tab technology are summarized in this article. Evolution of an existing drug molecule from a conventional form in to said technology can significantly improve its performance in terms of patient compliance, safety, and efficacy.

Keywords: OSDrC concept, Accu-break technology, DiffCORE technology, GEOMATRIX technology, Tab in Tab technology.
