Abstract

Film coating as a method of coating pharmaceutical solid-dosage forms (for example, tablets, granules, capsules) has been in common use for three decades. Early success with this technology resulted from the use of highly volatile organic solvents, which permitted the employment of relatively simple processing methodologies. Regulatory concerns over the use of such solvents, however, coupled with the development of sophisticated processing equipment, have resulted in water becoming the solvent/vehicle of choice.
