Dry granulation helps make increase in cold remedy production nothing to sneeze at
When Sandoz wanted to increase cold remedy production, the company changed its batching technique, installed a high-speed packager, and used compaction and dry granulation to make active ingredients flow more easily.
Sandoz, one of Canada's larger pharmaceutical companies, produces Neo Citran, a granular cold remedy containing both active ingredients and sugar, which is packaged in single-dose foil-lined pouches that consumers mix with hot water and then drink. The product is sold in Canada in various strengths and formulations and is also exported to Switzerland in adult and pediatric forms.
