A wet granulation process in which a pharmaceutical substance is granulated using a granulating fluid which is a halogenated hydrocarbon which has a normal boiling point below ambient temperature, for example 1,1,1,2-tetraflouroethane, under a pressure sufficient to maintain the halogenated hydrocarbon in a liquid state. A process in which the halogenated hydrocarbon is re-cycled, and suitable equipment for performing the process is also described. |
