minitabletták

Minitabletták, often referred to as mini-tablets, are small oral dosage forms designed for ease of administration, particularly for patients who have difficulty swallowing larger pills. These tablets typically measure between 5 to 8 millimeters in diameter. Their small size makes them suitable for a variety of patient populations, including pediatric patients, the elderly, and individuals suffering from dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

The development of minitabletták addresses a common challenge in medication adherence. By reducing the size of the tablet, the risk of choking or gagging is significantly lowered, leading to improved patient compliance and consequently, better therapeutic outcomes. Minitabletták can be formulated with various active pharmaceutical ingredients and are often designed to be swallowed whole with water. In some cases, they may also be intended for crushing and mixing with soft food or liquid, although this should always be confirmed with a healthcare professional or pharmacist, as not all minitabletták are suitable for manipulation.

Manufacturing minitabletták involves specialized equipment that can produce precise and consistent small-sized tablets. This process requires careful control of formulation and compression parameters to ensure the integrity, stability, and bioavailability of the drug. The coatings on minitabletták can also be adapted for different release profiles, such as immediate release, delayed release, or extended release, depending on the therapeutic needs of the medication.
