This book is a complete, authoritative resource on the coating of
tablets, capsules, and other solid dosage forms of therapeutic
agents. Fourteen authors cover the industry's technologies. The
book begins with a full discussion of the primary processes --
sugar coating, film coating, and microencapsulation -- as well as
the rationale for coating, methodologies, formulations, processing
methods, and equipment and cleaning. Then it explores automation of
the coating process, including hardware and software requirements.
Finally, the book examines major stability and quality control
issues. Regulations underlie all discussions.
