Oral Solid
Dosage Forms
Manufacture – Technology –
Compliance
This conference aims at informing about recent technologies in the manufacture of
oral solid dosage forms and how state-of-the art processes are to be designed to be
efficient and compliant and how trouble-shooting in production can be carried out.
Solid dosage forms are still the most common dosage form, first and foremost tablets
with a portion of over 50%. Tablets are the least expensive dosage form, have a good
stability and open up adjustable possibilities of drug release. But although tabletting
is used since 1843 there are still open questions and problems in the daily routine.
Development and production of oral solid dosage forms with optimised therapeutic
attributes is as well as the implementation of stable and cost efficient processes of
large importance. Modern techniques like compression simulation, chemical
imag-ing, NIR and multivariate data analysis can be used to overcome problems in daily
business.
Continuous processing
Fundamentals and expertise of tabletting and granulation
Trouble shooting using the multivariate approach
Special tablet forms
Adjusting release behaviour
Compaction simulation
Usage of low cost-equipment from far east
GMP Compliance in the Solida Factory
A deeper understanding of the basics of galenics of solid forms as well as detailed
expert knowledge will help to optimise the quality of daily work and during
trouble-shooting to solve production problems:
This event is designed for all managers and executives from Pharmaceutical
Devel-opment, Production and Quality Assurance, responsible for develDevel-opment, transfer
or manufacture of solid dosage forms.
Günter Körblein,
Senior Advisor in Pharmaceutical Technology
On Tuesday, 26 May 2009, you are cordially invited to a
social event. This is an excellent opportunity to share
your experiences with colleagues from other
compa-nies in a relaxed atmosphere.

Conclusion
low-cost equipment made in Far east - experiences from engineering and
operation
Presentation of low cost manufacturing and equipment sourcing strategy of a global
pharmaceutical company based on solid dosage forms. The example will be based
on two new sites in Singapore and India from Novartis. Further different operational
strategies will be analysed as well as evaluation criteria for equipment selections.
Finally execution success factors will be discussed.
