Background<br />
More and more pharmaceutical products are reach<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the market as multiparticulate dosage forms,<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>ly as pellets. The healthcare sector also frequently<br />
selects pellets as an optimal marketable form<br />
of functional food. As there is quite a number of existent<br />
techniques relat<strong>in</strong>g to the production of pellets,<br />
it is often very difficult for a formulator or market<strong>in</strong>g<br />
manager to make a choice, s<strong>in</strong>ce every technique<br />
claims to be optimal.<br />
This workshop is aimed at elaborat<strong>in</strong>g the advantages<br />
and drawbacks of the <strong>in</strong>dividual techniques, focus<strong>in</strong>g<br />
on the optimal spectrum of each one, but also consider<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the economical and ergonomical aspects of<br />
manufactur<strong>in</strong>g processes. On special request of various<br />
participants, this workshop has been extended<br />
to <strong>in</strong>clude lectures on the ma<strong>in</strong> excipients for pelletiz<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and pellet coat<strong>in</strong>g, on functional pellet coat<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
compression of pellets <strong>in</strong>to tablets, capsule fill<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
the most suitable capsule materials. All speakers are<br />
specialized, experienced and renowned experts from<br />
science and <strong>in</strong>dustry.<br />
