You can make pills by using a TDP. I got hold of one a couple of months ago to make herbal tablets.
First you need to calculate the amount of active ingredient in my case 0.1g. I the filled my press with the binding agents I was going to use and ran a test I calculated the mass of the pill and there for how much active ingredient I needed to mix with my bulking agent. In an 8mm Pill, 4mm deep this was a ratio of 1 part active ingredient to 3 parts biding agent. You can work this out for you own active ingredient/ size of pill, by also doing a little trial and error.
1)Make a mix of say 1:1 ratio and make a test pill.
2)Weigh the pill and divide the weight by the ratio
3)This will tell you the amount of active ingredient in the pill
4)Repeat steps 1-3 adjusting the ratio until desired amount is achieved
One of the hardest things I found was to get the pill to stay together. I got a TDP 1.5, I think if I had gone for the 5 I would have had better pills. I used a good binding agent but I am shore there are better ones out there.
If anyone knows the name of one please hit me back
