Drag\u00e9es are coated tablets that are surrounded by a coating layer, which can consist of various sugars or other suitable coating materials. In addition to the coating substances, excipients necessary for the coating process are also required, such as binders, flavoring agents, and coloring agents.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” gap=”35″ el_class=”row-month month-preparation month-apply”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Preparation process” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tableting:<\/strong>The first step in drag\u00e9e production is the preparation of drag\u00e9e cores containing active ingredients and excipients. This step is carried out using tableting machines that compress the raw material into hard, shaped tablets.<\/li>\n
  2. Pre-treatment:<\/strong> The drag\u00e9e cores are pre-treated to provide a suitable surface for the coating material. This may include rounding the tablets, shaping the drag\u00e9e, and applying a base layer.<\/li>\n
  3. Coating:<\/strong> In classic drag\u00e9e production, the tablets are placed in a drag\u00e9e-coating pan, where they are continuously rotated while a coating material is sprayed onto them. This is a mixture of coating agents and excipients. The coating agent can consist of sugar, glucose, or various polyols. The coating is applied in multiple layers, with each layer dried before the next one is added.<\/li>\n
  4. Drying and Polishing:<\/strong> At the end of the coating process, the drag\u00e9es are thoroughly dried to ensure the coating solidifies and adheres properly to the tablets. Subsequently, the drag\u00e9es are polished to achieve a smooth and shiny surface. To distinguish the drag\u00e9es, coloring can also be applied.<\/li>\n
  5. Quality Control:<\/strong> The finished drag\u00e9es undergo a strict quality control process, which includes reviewing size, shape, coating thickness, and checking the active ingredient content.<\/li>\n
  6. Packaging:<\/strong>\u00a0The inspected drag\u00e9es are finally placed in appropriate packaging that protects them from moisture, light, and mechanical damage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    • Flavor Masking:<\/strong>Many medications have a bitter or unpleasant taste. The coating of drag\u00e9es helps to mask these flavors, making it easier for patients to take the medication.<\/li>\n
    • Protection:<\/strong>The coating protects the active ingredients from external environmental factors, such as moisture and oxygen, thereby extending the shelf life of the medication.<\/li>\n
    • Controlled Release:<\/strong>Certain drag\u00e9es have a special coating that allows for the slow, controlled release of the active ingredient, providing a longer-lasting effect.<\/li>\n
    • Easier Swallowing:<\/strong>The smooth and slippery coating makes it easier to swallow drag\u00e9es, especially for those who find it difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • Drag\u00e9e predecessors were known in ancient Rome, where seeds coated with honey and spices were made. Modern sugar drag\u00e9es began to be produced in the Middle Ages.<\/li>\n
      • There are also sugar-free coating materials available, allowing diabetics to use the resulting drag\u00e9es.<\/li>\n
      • In the pharmaceutical industry, multi-layer coated tablets are becoming increasingly common, containing different active ingredients in their various layers. This enables the simultaneous achievement of multiple effects with a single drag\u00e9e.<\/li>\n
      • Drag\u00e9es are popular not only in the pharmaceutical industry but also in the candy industry. Famous candies like M&M\u2019s and Skittles are also drag\u00e9es, featuring a delicious coating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Thus, the drag\u00e9e-making process plays a crucial role not only in the confectionery industry but also in the pharmaceutical sector. Innovative technologies and careful manufacturing processes ensure that drag\u00e9es effectively, safely, and conveniently deliver active ingredients to patients’ bodies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
