摘要

The invention refers to a process for the preparation of tablets that can be well compressed and have good mechanical strength from pharmaceutically active ingredient(s) having unfavourable tabletting properties. In the process of the invention a granulating liquid is used which is a suspension of 5-30 % of microcrystalline cellulose - 90% of which have a particle size that is lower than 50 Sg(m)m, and the amount of the microcrystalline cellulose refers to the final tablet mass in water and/or ethanol and/or isopropanol, and said suspension may contain also a part of the ingredients of the granules in dissolved form.
