Abstract
Changes in the mechanical strength of tablets with time are well documented. Sodium chloride tablets increase in strength by over 100% in the first hour after manufacture. It is shown that when mixed with magnesium stearate, this strength change does not occur. Results are also presented for lactose tablets, and possible mechanisms are discussed.Keywords
