2. Description of the Related Art In the field of foods, pharmaceuticals and the like, it is common practice to divide tablets into two or more according to the administration method and dosage. As a method, a tablet is provided with a groove so that the tablet can be divided. As a tablet configured to be capable of this kind of division, for example, a tablet described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-53345 is known. In order to facilitate the division, the hardness of the tablet may be lowered. Conventionally, a method of lowering the compression pressure at the time of compression molding, the bonding force of the powder or granules to be compression-molded, and the like. There is a way to make it weaker.

[0003] In addition, depending on the components contained in the tablet, taste,
In order to mask the odor and to improve the stability, an appropriate coating may be applied to the tablet by film coating or the like. Even tablets coated with such a coating have 2 tablets.
There are many cases where it is necessary to divide as described above.
In the step of applying such a film coating, a method is employed in which a large number of tablets are put into a coating machine and a coating liquid is sprayed on the tablets while rolling the tablets, so that the tablets are worn, chipped, or cracked. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the tablet hardness to such a degree that abrasion, chipping and cracking do not occur, and it has not been possible to obtain a tablet having an appropriate coating that can be easily divided.

[0006] The moisture absorption is carried out in air at a relative humidity of 30 to 95%, desirably 50 to 90%, until the target moisture absorption is reached. At this time, the temperature of the air is arbitrary, but desirably the temperature is from room temperature to 50 ° C. When the components contained in the tablet are unstable to moisture, they may be dried after absorbing moisture. Drying is carried out by leaving it in air at a relative humidity of 0 to 50%, preferably 0 to 30%. Moisture absorption and drying may use a ventilation type apparatus. As a ventilation type device, the tablets may be left standing by using a shelf type device, or the tablets can be left standing or rolling using a coating machine, but this is not a limitation. is not.
