摘要 |
The present invention discloses a dry formulation or granulation comprising, in admixture, more than 50 wt. % of active pharmaceutical ingredient and from 1 to 10 wt. % of each of any nonaqueous excipient selected from liquid substances. In a preferred embodiment no water or lower alcohol has been added in any step of the preparation of the dry formulation or granulation, and the nonaqueous excipient selected from liquid substances is adsorbed to dryness by the active pharmaceutical ingredient and/or by a further solid excipient. Pharmaceutical formulations based on such dry formulation or granulation, and processes for the preparation thereof, are described as well. The dry formulations or granulations reliably and effectively further processed under dry conditions without requiring active drying, including e.g. briquetting, slugging, sieving, milling, tabletting, further fine granulating, direct compression, and the like.
