2.Wet granulation.

3.Direct compaction.

All the processes involves the compression of granules to form a tablet.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) are the substances which are use to treat or cure any disease or disorder in Humans or Any Animal.

Process

API and exipients are used to form a dough mass of powder to form a granules by use of different methods.

In dry granulation process powder is mixed with the exipients to form dough mass and it is further passes from the sieve of perticular aperture size.

After granulation process granules are dried in (DHS) Dry heat sterilizer.Dried granules are then punch to form a tablet by Tablet punching machine.

In dry granulation powder is mixed and directly punched by tablet punching machine

In direct compaction tablets flacks are punched to tablets.

WONDER DRUG FAKE OR REALITY ?

1938: Di-ethyl stilbestrol (DES) was created. DES was the first synthetic estrogen ever synthesized; it was cheap to produce, more potent than natural estrogen, and could be taken orally. In the rush to make and market DES, Eli Lilly became one ofthe drug's major manufacturers. In America alone there were 267 drug companies that made and distributed DES and other similar synthetic estrogen because it was un-patented and easily produced.No controlled studies were ever conducted by the drug companies to determine the effectiveness or safety of DES for use during pregnancy, even after some scientists started questioning its efficacy in the 19505. As early as 1953, research revealed that DES did not work that DES actually brought about higher rates of premature birth and infant mortality yet DES continued to be prescribed to pregnant women for decades.
