Hello all,i came across to an electric automatic pill machine and i want to make pills as far as i have 3 types of orals in raw.I just wonder how i merge and load the machine so i can make 10mg pill for example?? The machine was given me as a gift and the dude doesn't know how to operate with it.Can someone give me tips or guidance ?
10 mg is such a tiny amount that no pill, no matter how small, will weigh 10 mg by itself.
So you must use
fillers
you can use pre-made
direct compression fillers, many available at Ebay/Amzn
Direct compression
Then you need to determine how much filler to add at each press, as to get an acceptable tablet
Filler mg per tab totally depends on the size of the tablet
dies you have. You can google some data on the specific die you have,
but at the end it involves some trial and error:
adding a bit more filler for a harder pill, or a bit less for an easier to dissolve pill.
BTW 10 mg is such a small amount that you can try pressing just powder without the active ingredient, as 10 mg won't change the tablet hardness much.
After that, substract some 10 mg filler and replace with 10 mg active ingredient
then some more test runs pressing them (filler+API).
