The development of acceptable, palatable pediatric formulations is undergoing transformation within the industry today, driven by patient needs and regulatory requirements. Therefore, the demand for age-appropriate dosage form development will continue to increase with time. Mini-tablets, 2 mm in diameter, are an elegant way of delivering APIs to pediatric populations.
