    In this study, we investigated the effect of the particle size of powdered materials on the standard formulation for the dry method by evaluating the properties of powder blends for tableting and tablets. Acetaminophen as a model drug, lactose as a additive, microcrystalline cellulose or low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose as a binder and magnesium stearate as a lubricant were used as the composition materials with differing particle sizes. In conclusion, the particle size of each material included in the model drug affected the properties of powder blends for tableting and tablets, and the degree of effect differed with the composition and concentrations of each component. It was also confirmed that the standard formulation for direct compression was not only of considerable practical use but also highly useful for evaluation of the characteristics of various materials.
