Tablet pressing
Tablet pressing for listed medicines and supplements
DB Pharmaceuticals presses tablets for listed medicines, vitamins and supplements at our TGA GMP licensed facility in Kings Park, Sydney. We blend, press and pack in one site, with blister or bottle packing and labelling in-house. We specialise in small to medium runs, with large runs available. This work is carried out under our TGA GMP licence, covering full product manufacture, including release for supply, with physical testing.
