(Powders vs granules) in advantages

  • Advantage of powders : 

  1. The powder is characterized by its long shelf life for long periods and long-term use for one, two or three years, as it is chemically stable as long as it is not exposed to moisture or stored in an inappropriate environment that changes the nature of the powder or its effectiveness. 
  2.  Opening, even in appropriate circumstances, extends from 7 days to 14 days, and the effectiveness and general characteristics gradually begin to decrease .
  3. The advantage of powders is that they have smaller particles in size, more in distributing the active ingredient in equal quantities on tablets, and the patches are all consistent with each other, and each piece of particle contains the same number of particle in another piece of active ingredient, so it is approved by the quality control group .
  4. Ease of handling, storing and swallowing the pill for conscious people without any hardship .
  5. The powder is considered one of the fastest ways to take the medicine, giving it effectiveness, because it does not need to be disintegrated into smaller particles to be absorbed, such as the popular painkiller volt fast. On the same active ingredient, but powders are better as speed in performance .

  • Advantages of granules: 

  1. The granules are distinguished over powders because it is more tolerant of weather conditions, humidity and temperature, because it resembles that the granule has been encapsulated from the outside, hardened and held together, and the area exposed to the particle constituting the granules is less than the area that appears in the same particle in powders .
  2. There is no separation in the components of the mixture due to the difference in particle size and the occurrence of sedimentation and agglomeration, so granulation incorporates these particle and reduces the separation ratios of the components .
  3. It is better in flow than powders, because powders may collide between the edges of a single particle more than granules, because the granules are mostly spherical in shape, and powders are random in shape, so the points of contact between them are more in powder, so the flobilty is less .
  4. The granules are more ready to be hydrated and adsorbed with liquids than powders .
