Abstract
Compositions containing calcium phosphate and microcrystalline cellulose are useful as excipients in the preparation of solid dosage forms containing active pharmaceutical ingredients, particularly those prepared by processes involving multiple compaction steps. The recompactibility performance of such compositions is improved through the use of calcium phosphate having a relatively small particle size, e.g., a median particle size of not more than about 20 microns or not more than about 10 microns.
