Overview
This unique 2 day course is designed to integrate the key elements of tablet
development:
• Preformulation
• Formulation Development

and explains the important links between these. Proper integration of these
elements is essential to achieve “Quality by Design” because data from each phase is
used to control the next step in the development process. By achieving integration,
many development and production problems can be avoided. The course includes case
studies of tablet development at the preformulation and formulation development phases as well as a detailed step by step analysis of all elements of the tablet manufacturing process.  Key process parameters and their control are identified

Who should attend
Preformulation, formulation and process development staff and those involved in commissioning
products into Production. Regulatory Affairs staff preparing dossiers for tablet products.
