Solids

The right technology and expertise for the production of your solids: tablets, coated tablets, pellets or capsules - from clinical to bulk production.

Whatever you need in the way of solid dosage forms – tablets, coated tablets, pellets or capsules – you can trust Nycomed with your products and projects. Nycomed provides both basic and specialised technologies for bulk clinical supplies, bulk production and packaging.

Our technology portfolio for the bulk production of solids compromises:

• Granulation (wet, fluid bed with aqueous and organic solvents)
• Roller compaction
• Pellet production (non pairelles, extrusion, Wurster coating)
• Tableting (cores for various tablet types, e.g. bi-layer tablet, micro- or controlled-release tablets)
• Encapsulation (hard shell)
• Coating (aqueous, organic, sugar or double-layer coating)
• Imprinting

Capacities are available at European sites Oranienburg (competence centre for solid dosage forms), Brussels and Lyszkowice. These sites complement each other in their service portfolio. Oranienburg offers a broad service portfolio including niche technologies, such as pellets and stick packs, while the focus in Lyszkowice is on vitamin products and food supplements. Brussels is specialised in handling small volumes/complexity. Our sites in Brazil and Mexico offer the production of solids as well.

Solids are the dominant dosage form with constantly changing requirements. Nycomed has invested in the most advanced technologies available.
