What are DC granules and pellets?
DC granules are directly compressible: the active ingredient is already blended and granulated with excipients so it flows well and can be pressed into tablets without further granulation. This saves steps, time and equipment. Pellets are small, round, drug-loaded beads, often coated to resist stomach acid or to release the drug slowly, and are filled into capsules or pressed into tablets.
Progene Pharma supplies DC granules and pellets to tablet and capsule manufacturers, contract manufacturers and formulators outside India. They are intermediates, not finished medicines: the buyer turns them into tablets or capsules and registers the finished product.

Pellets are small, drug-loaded beads, often coated so they resist stomach acid or release the drug slowly. They are filled into capsules or pressed into tablets, for example omeprazole and esomeprazole capsules.
