Abstract
The present invention is a process and apparatus for making a dosage unit by direct tableting of shearlite particles. The present invention also includes the dosage unit itself. Shearlite particles, which are prepared by subjecting a feedstock material to liquiflash processing, can be directly fed from a shearlite device to a tableting apparatus without the necessity of any intermediate steps or additional ingredients to facilitate flowability or tablet formation.
