“…The development of a new pharmaceutical dosage form involves preliminary pre-formulation studies for which information about the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the formulation constituents is necessary. Mixture of drug/excipient can affect the long-term stability of the solid dosage form, as well as the drug bioavailability, therapeutic efficiency and safety profile (de Oliveira et al, 2013b, de Oliveira et al, 2011). In addition, the interactions between drug and excipients can affect the quality of the mixture, including the polymorphic form and crystallization profile of the drug, but also the formulation properties such as the solubility of the mixture, color, odor, and taste (Wu et al, 2011).…”
