Molded tablets are small disc shaped tablets which are prepared by forcing the soft mass into the cavities of mold. Generally potent medicaments and highly toxic drugs in small doses are used for preparing the molded tablets. The potent medicament is diluted with diluents like, lactose, dextrose, sucrose or a mixture of lactose and sucrose. The mixed powders are moistened with a suitable dilution of alcohol (generally so% alcohol) and mixed thoroughly so as to get a soft mass.
Soft mass prepared, pressed into the perforation of mold with spatula. This perforated plate of the mold filled with the mass, which is placed over another plate having exactly the same number of projecting pegs as that of perforation and these projecting pegs completely fit into holes. A little pressure is applied over top plate which will move the force downward, leaving the molded tablets on the projecting pegs.
