Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry’s interest in the tablet production by direct compression has increased in recent years, especially because it is an easy to control and less process time production method, leading to greater productivity of the production line. However, the successful production of tablets by direct compression relies almost exclusively of
adjuvants that comprise the formulation. This article describes the production of tablets by direct compression, addressing the characteristics and key excipients involved in this process.
