Abstract
This invention relates to a method of using compressible polysaccharides having a tap density of less than 0.4 g/ml as a filler/binder for tablets prepared by direct compression, excipient blends including said polysaccharides, a method of tableting an active ingredient therein from the excipient blends and the tablets produced therefrom. More particularly, this invention relates to the use of low-density starches as binders for tablets prepared by direct compression, excipient blends, and methods of tableting an active ingredient therein from such starches. Further, this invention describes a starch-based excipient composition having a tap density of less than 0.4 g/ml, which has excellent moisture resistance.
