Chewable tablets are a popular and patient-friendly form of oral medication that offers convenience and ease of administration. Chewable tablets are formulated using a combination of active pharmaceutical ingredients, sweeteners, flavors, and excipients. The formulation has been carefully designed to provide a pleasant flavor and chewable texture while maintaining the stability and efficacy of the drug.

Protheragen-ING offers comprehensive chewable tablet development services and is committed to developing chewable tablet formulations that meet the highest standards of quality, efficacy, and, taste. With our expertise in formulation, manufacturing, and customization, we can create customized formulations that precisely meet your specifications, whether you need a specific active ingredient or a combination of ingredients.

Advantages of Chewable Tablets

• Easy to take - Chewable tablets are designed to be chewed and then swallowed, making them a convenient option for people who have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets or capsules, such as children or the elderly.
• Improved patient compliance - The delicious taste and pleasant texture of chewable tablets make them more appealing to patients, especially young children. This can increase medication adherence and improve treatment outcomes.
• Rapid onset of action - Chewable tablets are usually formulated to dissolve and be absorbed quickly in the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, allowing for a faster onset of action compared to some other oral dosage forms.
• Accurate dosing - Chewable tablets are often available in a variety of sizes, allowing for accurate dosing and easy adjustment of medication to the patient's needs.

The General Preparation Process for Chewable Tablets

(1) Formulation Development

We select the active pharmaceutical ingredient and other excipients such as sweeteners, flavoring agents, and binders to achieve the desired taste, texture, and stability.

(2) Granulation or Tabletting

We granulate or directly press formulation mixtures into tablets. Granulation is often used to improve flow and compressibility.

(3) Tablet Compression

We use tablet presses to compact granulated or formulated mixtures into chewable tablets. Chewable tablets are designed to have a soft, chewable texture.

(4) Coating (optional)

In some cases, chewable tablets may need to be coated to provide additional protection, improve stability, or enhance appearance. The coatings we provide are usually made from food-grade materials.

(5) Quality Control

We conduct rigorous quality control testing to ensure chewable tablet integrity, uniformity, and performance. This includes tests for weight variation, hardness, disintegration, dissolution, and stability.

Our Technology

We use advanced technologies to optimize formulations to ensure excellent stability, bioavailability, and homogeneity.
