What are opadry types?

Opadry types refer to different formulations of film-coating materials used in the pharmaceutical industry to coat tablets and granules. They are categorized primarily into two types: Opadry I, which is a ready-to-use film coating system, and Opadry II, which requires additional solvents for application. These coatings enhance the appearance, stability, and release characteristics of the dosage forms while also providing protection from environmental factors. Additionally, they can be tailored for specific release profiles, such as immediate or controlled release.
