In one aspect, the present invention features a method of manufacturing a solid dosage form, the method including the steps of: (a) measuring an amount of a first powder blend within a dosing nozzle, wherein the first powder blend includes a pharmaceutically active agent; (b) discharging the measured amount of a first powder blend from the dosing nozzle into a forming cavity within a die block, the forming cavity having an inner wall, a first opening at the surface of one side of the die block, and a second opening at the surface on the opposite side of the die block; (c) moving a first forming tool into the forming cavity through the first opening of the forming cavity such that the first powder blend is formed into the shape of the dosage form within the forming cavity between the inner wall, the first forming tool and a second forming tool within or adjacent to the cavity; (d) applying RF energy between a first electrode and a second electrode such that the energy heats the first powder blend within the forming cavity to form the dosage form; and (e) removing the dosage form from the forming cavity. |
