The film coating formulation typically contains a polymer (such as HPMC, PVA, or Eudragit) as the film-forming agent, along with plasticizers, colorants, and solvents (either aqueous or organic-based). This mixture is sprayed onto rotating tablets inside a perforated coating pan or fluidized bed, where warm air facilitates rapid drying and smooth film formation. The result is a tablet with a sleek finish that maintains its shape and disintegrates as designed during ingestion.
Film coatings can be either non-functional (cosmetic) or functional (modified-release). Non-functional coatings serve to enhance the tablet’s appearance, mask unpleasant tastes, and make swallowing easier, while functional coatings are designed to control the release profile of the active ingredient such as immediate-release, sustained-release, or enteric-release. This adaptability makes film coating ideal for a wide range of pharmaceutical applications, from prescription drugs to nutraceuticals.
