A compaction simulator (CS) is a single-punch instrument that records data during the powder compaction process. The aim of the study was to determine the behavior of lactose-based direct tableting agents (DTAs) by CS. The data recorded were used to evaluate the flowability and compressibility of powders. The focus of the study was on comparing the compressibility of StarLac ® [alpha lactose monohydrate (85%) and white maize starch (15%)] and FlowLac ® 100 (spray-dried alpha lactose monohydrate) in order to make tablets containing poorly flowable paracetamol.
