An apparatus 10 for holding and subsequently releasing a solid compact medicament, such as a caplet (A) during processing comprises first and second members 12,14. First and second members 12,14 each has surface 16,22, respectively, comprising at least one substantially similar notch 18,24 opposed and correspondingly aligned one another and extending beyond the respective surfaces 16,22. Adjacent each notch 18,24, the respective surface 16,22 has a chamber 26,32. A portion of each notch 18,24 is freely disposed in the chamber 26,32 of the other so that the opposed notches 18,24, defining a gripping jaw, can move freely in the chamber 26,32 of the other. Further, means are provided for urging the first and second member 12,14 from a first position wherein the gripping jaw 34 formed by the opposed notches 18,24 are open to receive and subsequently release a solid compact medicament, to a second position wherein the gripping jaw 34 at least partially closes firmly capturing a circumferential portion of the solid compact medicament therein for processing.
