Tablets are typically produced by compressing a powder mixture or granulate under high pressure. In addition to the API, excipients such as fillers, binders and disintegrants are almost always included to ensure mechanical strength, disintegration and bioavailability. Depending on the formulation, tablets may be uncoated or coated to modify release behavior, protect the active ingredient or improve patient acceptance.

Tablet production is a core technology in pharmaceutical manufacturing due to its efficiency, stability and dosing accuracy. Precise control of compression, granulation and coating processes is essential to achieve consistent tablet quality, regulatory compliance and reliable performance throughout the product lifecycle.
