Multiparticulates such as (micro)pellets and minitablets represent modern and innovative technol. platforms, providing advantages when compared to monolithic oral dosage forms.Better compliance is achieved for children and the elderly.Individually tailored drug release profiles for any API and site-specific drug delivery allow for an optimized and safe therapeutic effect.Various drug products can be made from one multiparticulate form - capsules, oral liquids, sachets, stick packs, sipping straws, fixed-dose combinations, and multiple unit pellet system (MUPS) tablets - offering interesting perspectives for life cycle management. 3D printing of multiparticulate systems is a step into future technol.New concepts for patient-centric solutions are possible.Small particles are easily administered via nasal and gastrointestinal tubes.Moreover, the pellet concept facilitates the processing of highly potent compounds to an extraordinary degree.
