Powder and Granules as Dosage Forms

Powders are a dosage form where a drug powder is mixed with other powdered excipients to produce a final product.
Granules are powder particles that have been aggregated to form larger particles, making them easier to handle.

Granulation Process

Granulation is the process where primary powder particles adhere to form larger multi-particle entities.
The primary powder particles are processed to form granules, which are then used as an intermediate product.

Characteristics of Granules

When used as a dosage form, granules have a size range of 0.2-0.5 mm.
When used as an intermediate product, granules have a size range of 1-4 mm.

Reasons for Granulation

To prevent segregation of the constituents of the powder mixture.
Segregation occurs due to differences in size/density of the mixture, with smaller/denser particles concentrating at the base and larger/less dense particles above.

Ideal Granulation

Ideal granulation will contain all the constituents of the original mixture.
