| Description | Wet granulation can be an important processing step for pharmaceutical solid dosage forms. In this investigation emphasis was directed towards the influence of a “simple” wet granulation process on drug release from granules and their resulting tablets. Direct compression blends of the same materials were used as controls. Binary mixtures containing a 5% level of either theophylline, hydrochlorothiazide or chlorpheniramine maleate in microcrystalline cellulose or lactose were granulated with water. Experimentally, the powders were dry blended in a planetary mixer, wet granulated, and subsequently wet milled and dried. No dry milling step was included. Granule characterization consisted of particle size, density, porosity, compression and dissolution testing. Dissolution results varied with the drug, as expected, and dissolution at 10 minutes ranged from 35 to 95 % release. In general, however, the results indicate that dissolution from granules and the corresponding direct compression blend are similar. Although differences in compressibility were observed in the systems studied, granulation was not found to be detrimental to drug release. |
