Acetaminophen DC Granules

Product Overview

Acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) granules are a pre-formulated powder form that contains the active ingredient together with other essential excipients including binders and disintegrants. This allows for highly effective direct compression into tablets. Compared to wet granulation, direct compression is a more effective tableting technique that requires fewer steps and less equipment.

FAQs

Acetaminophen Direct Compression (DC) Granules are pre-formulated granules containing Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) along with suitable excipients. They are optimized for direct compression into tablets, eliminating the need for wet granulation at the manufacturer's end.

Better flowability → Ensures smooth processing on high-speed tablet presses. Uniform content distribution → Reduces weight variation in tablets. Reduced processing steps → Saves time, cost, and resources (no need for in-house granulation). Improved compressibility → Produces tablets with consistent hardness and low friability.

Tablet manufacturing (500 mg, 650 mg, or combination products). Chewable tablets / ODTs (when combined with patient-friendly excipients like mannitol).

Typically, 77% - 97% w/w Acetaminophen, but the ratio can be customized depending on client needs.

Faster market entry → Skip complex granulation, focus on direct tablet compression. Consistent quality. Cost savings → Reduced infrastructure, manpower, and processing costs. Global compliance → Product meets pharmacopeia standards, easing registration.
