The everyday consumer probably doesn’t spend too much time thinking about the time and expertise that went into the tablet coating system that applied a film coating to their medication. They won’t put much thought into your tablet coating unless it’s subpar. Keep tablet coatings behind the scenes with Thomas Processing’s line of modern tablet coaters.

You could be one of the key players in a global market and have a drug that works well, but if your tablets don’t present their quality on the outside, you run the risk of being left on the shelf. Like we said above, most consumers won’t put much thought into the coating on their tablets unless they see poor quality coating. You’ll never hear a patient raving about the effectiveness of the film coating on their medication, but you will hear them complain about tablets that don’t present themselves well.
You want tablet coating that stays behind the scenes and performs well without drawing attention to itself. In this way, tablet coating systems from Thomas are a humble yet integral part of the larger tablet manufacturing process. If you hit all the right marks in your tablet coating, you’ll see most of the benefit in your tablet sales and the effectiveness of your medications.
There’s Coating Market Analysis, and Then There Are the End Results
European Pharmaceutical Review states that “the global oral solid dosage pharmaceutical formulation market is to grow to $926.3 billion by 2027.” That number presents a significant amount of opportunity, but beyond the numbers, it comes down to the performance of your film coatings and the medication itself.
You need to think about elements like avoiding tablet defects, consider the effect of the digestive system on your choice of coating, and plan for the delayed activation of your medication. All of these factors become easier to manage with the right tablet coating system and the right ally providing your tablet coating support, Thomas.

The Coating Solution Plays a Major Role in the Effectiveness of Treatment
Tablet coating makes your medications more effective. Sometimes that means masking a bad taste or unfavorable odor. Other times it means providing a timed release of the medication to control the dosage of the drug over an extended period of time. It could also just be there to protect fragile ingredients during transportation and throughout their shelf life. Whatever the reason, your choice of coating solution can be a major factor in the overall effectiveness of treatment for the end user.
