2023
This article discusses the process used to formulate and prepare Taohong Siwu, a traditional Chinese medicine, as a dispersible tablet. We performed single-factor and orthogonal experiments to screen the prescription excipients, optimize the formulation process, and produce dispersible Taohong Siwu tablets.

We tested the usability of a tablet-computer-based application (EmoCogMeter) in investigating the effects of age on cognition. Results show an age-related cognitive decline, thereby proving the usability of our application. Findings underline the great clinical and practical potential of a tablet-based application for detection and monitoring of cognitive dysfunction.

Source: Madeline Lassche, MSNEd, RN and Katie Baraki, MSN, RN, College of Nursing, University of Utah, UT Oral medications are the route most preferred by patients and are one of the most commonly used routes of medication administration by providers. Most oral preparations are taken by mouth, swallowed with fluid, and absorbed via the gastrointestinal tract. Oral medications are available in solid forms (e.g., tablets, capsules, caplets, and enteric-coated tablets) and liquid forms (e.g.,...

Cell sizes vary widely among and within organisms. Bacterial cells range between 1-10 micrometers (μm)and are considerably smaller than most eukaryotic cells. The smallest bacteria are 0.1 μm in diameter—about a thousand times smaller than eukaryotic cells, which typically range from 10-100 μm.Surface AreaCells can take in nutrients and water via diffusion through the plasma membrane itself or through specific channels in the membrane. The area of the membrane surrounding the cells limits the...
FAQs
Ingredient amount and density affect the volume needed for a compressed tablet. Compression and manufacturing requirements then constrain how that material is formed. Consequently, formulation decisions about active and inactive ingredients cannot be separated from physical dimensions. Considering these factors helps balance practical tablet design with the requirements of oral drug delivery.
Tablet Size can influence whether patients can take a medication comfortably and successfully. Oversized tablets may be especially challenging for children, older adults, and people with dysphagia, a condition involving difficulty swallowing. Designing an appropriately sized dosage form supports easier administration and may improve adherence in these clinically important populations.
Physical dimensions and overall volume can affect what happens after administration, including tablet disintegration and drug release. These effects connect the tablet’s design with the delivery of its active ingredients. Evaluating size alongside formulation and compression characteristics therefore helps assess whether the dosage form can support effective oral drug delivery.
Evaluation should consider the amount and density of active and inactive ingredients together with compression and manufacturing requirements. The resulting dimensions should then be considered in relation to swallowing, disintegration, and drug release. This integrated assessment helps identify a tablet design that addresses both production needs and patient-centered clinical use.
Attention is particularly important when prescribing for children, older adults, or patients with dysphagia, because administration difficulties may reduce successful medication use. Selecting an appropriately sized dosage form can support adherence and safer prescribing. In these situations, physical design becomes a clinically relevant consideration rather than only a manufacturing concern.
Evaluating dimensions reveals whether a dosage form may create administration challenges while also allowing consideration of its disintegration and drug-release behavior. Clinicians and formulators can use this information to align the dosage form with patient needs. The result is a more patient-centered approach to oral medication design, supporting adherence and safer prescribing.
