Abstract

The method of preparing adjuvant-free tablets from a tableting mass having a tendency to stick, comprising alternately in the same mold forming tablets from said tableting mass and from an adjuvant mass containing an easily tableted substance, a lubricant and a mold parting agent. The lubricant may be talc or sodium benzoate present in about 5 to 20% by weight, and the mold release agent may be stearic acid, a stearate, paraffin or a silicone oil in about 0.5 to 10% by weight. By this method tablets of pure fructose can be formed.
