Lactose monohydrate is typically used for wet or dry granulation. During wet granulation, liquid binders or adhesives are added to the lactose and active mixture, usually by blending. The mixture is then dried and sized, and compressed into tablets. During dry granulation, the particle size is enhanced by aggregating the particles by roller compaction and then milling to the desired size.
