Elucidation of the role of solvents on the growth of urea / Nurshahzanani Shahrir

The shape of drug crystals plays a crucial role in the downstream processing in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Difficulties may arise when dealing with unwanted crystal shapes, leading to challenges in manufacturing processes such as during filtration, granulation, and tabletting. Consequently, this...
