“Costs are too high – maybe we should add more cellulose ether?” This is a common thought when formulators face budget pressure. Cellulose ether is expensive, but polymer powders cost even more – so using extra HPMC to “compensate” for workability seems like a reasonable low‑cost strategy. Unfortunately, that path often leads to more problems
