FEASABILITY OF A NEW PROCESS TO PRODUCE FAST DISINTEGRATING PELLETS AS NOVEL MULTIPARTICULATE DOSAGE FORM FOR PEDIATRIC USE - Abstract

Novel orally disintegrating system based on multiparticulate form was developed, offering an alternative to encounter major issues in the design of dosage form for pediatric patients, i.e. the difficulty in swallowing large solid dosage form (tablet or capsule), and the requirement to cover a broad range of doses for different age groups. Microcrystalline cellulose-based pellets containing acetaminophen were prepared via extrusion/spheronization followed by freeze-drying.
