Abstract
Hot melt extrusion has been utilized in the plastic, food, and metal industries for over eight decades. Pharmaceutical applications using this technology began in the 1970s and gained significant traction within the last 20 years. Melt extrusion has been considered by many to provide a platform for drug delivery, which has sustained and increased its interest by pharma. Future Trends provides a synopsis of melt extrusion’s achievements, its continued relevance by the pharmaceutical industry evidenced by patents approved, as well as its potential to change the paradigm for continuous manufacturing.
