Pharmaceutical crystallization

Pharmaceutical crystallization is a process used to produce pure, solid drug substances by turning a liquid solution of the drug into a crystal. When conditions such as temperature or solvent composition are carefully controlled, the drug molecules gather together and form structured, uniform crystals. This process helps remove impurities, improves stability, and ensures consistent drug quality. Crystallization is essential in pharmaceutical manufacturing because it allows for precise control over the drug’s physical properties, impacting how effectively and safely it can be used in medications.
