Continuous manufacturing of oral solids is a complex process in which critical material attributes (CMAs), formulation and critical process parameters (CPPs) play a fundamental role. However, assessing their effect on the intermediate and final product's critical quality attributes (CQAs) remains challenging. The aim of this study was to tackle this shortcoming by evaluating the influence of raw material properties and formulation composition on the processability and quality of granules and tablets on a continuous manufacturing line.

In this work, we describe a novel approach to manufacturing MLT: the Gluing Pills Technology (GPT). High loads of ibuprofen free acid and caffeine anhydrate were blended with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) and compacted into monolayer tablets.
