Film Coating

Film coating is a process where a thin, protective, and decorative layer of material is applied to the surface of a tablet or pill. This coating improves the tablet's appearance, makes it easier to swallow, masks unpleasant tastes, and protects the active ingredients from moisture, light, or air. The coating is usually made from polymers, plasticizers, colorants, and other ingredients that form a smooth, durable film. This helps ensure consistent dosing and stability while enhancing patient compliance and overall product quality.
