Abstract:
A process for producing solid dosage forms by forming a plastic mixture of 10 to 99.9% by weight of at least one polymeric binder, 0.1 to 90% by weight of at least one active ingredient and, where appropriate, conventional additives, and shaping the solvent-free plastic mixture to the solid dosage forms using a mold, wherein an agent which modifies the surface properties is applied in finely divided form to the surface of the plastic mixture during the shaping, wherein the agent which modifies the surface properties is initially applied in finely divided form to the surfaces of the mold which come into contact with the plastic mixture to be shaped, and every contact of the surfaces of the mold with the plastic mixture is followed by a new application of the agent which modifies the surface properties.
