Patent application for drugs: the prescription of a drug of our company has been made public, and others are tablets. We want to produce granules. Can we apply for a patent?

since the prescription has been made public and others have already put it into production, although the production is tablets and you want to apply for granules, that is not acceptable. Because the formula of this medicine has been made public, it is invalid to apply for a patent that has been made public and there is no legal protection. It is suggested that if there is a new drug formula in the future, you should apply for a patent before putting it into production to ensure your interests.
