Not every molecule behaves on a tablet press. Poor flow, weak compaction, moisture sensitivity, or a very high or very low dose can all make a formulation difficult. This is where customized granulation makes the difference — engineering a granule specifically for your molecule rather than forcing it through a standard process. What Is Customized Granulation? Customized granulation is the development of a tailored, ready-to-compress granule designed around the specific behavi

A medicine only works if the patient actually takes it. Yet one of the most overlooked barriers to adherence is simple: the tablet is too big to swallow comfortably. Tablet size is not a cosmetic detail — it directly affects whether patients stay on their therapy. The Swallowing Problem Difficulty swallowing tablets (dysphagia) is common, especially among elderly patients and those on multiple daily medicines. Large tablets cause discomfort, anxiety, and in many cases patient

For decades, wet granulation has been the default route to a tablet. But direct compression using DC Granules is increasingly the smarter choice — technically and commercially. This article compares the two approaches step by step, so you can decide which fits your product. The Two Processes at a Glance Wet granulation involves mixing the API with excipients, adding a liquid binder, forming wet granules, drying them, milling to size, then finally blending and compressing. Dir

Directly Compressible (DC) Granules are one of the most important enablers of modern, efficient tablet manufacturing — yet many formulators still rely on older, multi-step processes. This guide explains what DC Granules are, how they work, and why they're changing the way solid dosage forms are made. What Are DC Granules? Directly Compressible Granules are semi-formulated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) engineered so they can be compressed directly into tablets in a
