In-Process Checks During Tablet Compression: GMP Requirements and Practical Challenges

/

Introduction Tablet compression is one of the most critical stages in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Even when granulation and blending are performed correctly, poor control during compression can lead to major quality defects such as weight variation, hardness issues, capping, lamination, and dissolution failure. That is why in-process checks (IPCs) are mandatory under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Pharmaceutical Production, Granulation

Wet Granulation vs Dry Granulation: Key Differences, Advantages & When to Use Each

/

Tablet manufacturing is one of the most common dosage forms in the pharmaceutical industry. Before compression, powders must be converted into granules to improve flow, compressibility, and uniformity. Two main granulation techniques are used: wet granulation and dry granulation. Understanding the differences between these methods is crucial for selecting the most suitable process based on
