A granule is a small, grain-like particle that can be found in various substances. Granules can be made of different materials, including minerals, sugar, or salt. They often have a defined shape and size, making them easy to identify. In nature, granules can be found in soil, where they contribute to its texture and fertility. In the pharmaceutical industry, granules are used to create medications in a solid form. These granules can be compressed into tablets or used in capsules. The process of granulation helps improve the flow and consistency of the ingredients, ensuring that the medication is effective and easy to manufacture.
