In some cases, no- A conventional tablet tably that of hypodermic tablets, lubricants are contraindicated because the tablets must give clear solutions, whereas the conventional lubricants are insoluble materials; and the tablets compressing machine is equipped with phosphorus-bronze dies and punches.
