We use standardized raw materials meeting applicable domestic and European standards for manufacturing dietary supplements.

Uncoated tablets are the most widespread dosage form of dietary supplements. The manufacturing process involves compressing the powder comprising the mixture of selected materials and forming the tablet into the shape as agreed earlier. The uncoated tablet is referred to as the core characterized by a small amount of excipients.

One of the services available at Medicofarma S.A. is manufacturing tablets coated with a thin film. This coating is to protect the tablet core from external conditions and allows for controlled release of the active substance from the tablet, it eliminates the unpleasant aftertaste and facilitates swallowing. We offer two types of coated tablets with different film substances: sugar-coated and film-coated tablets.
