user-friendly dosage forms – better meet the needs of your customers
How can we offer modern patients and consumers what they are looking for when it comes to pharmaceuticals and food/dietary supplements? Beyond developing highly effective molecules and APIs, we must ensure they can be easily used. One solution is user-friendly drug delivery – employing dosage forms that are convenient to take. Patients and consumers do not only want products that are effective but also easy and comfortable to swallow, with a pleasant taste and odor. Convenience means products that fit effortlessly into their daily lives. For some, that is a tasty drink, for others it is a dosage form that does not require water and can be taken ‘on the go‘. User-friendly packaging and simple dosing are other important factors.
Explore our range of user-friendly oral dosage forms:
Orally disintegrating granules
Can be poured directly into the mouth and immediately swallowed. Designed to be taken on the go.
Chewable tablets
Are very easy to take as chewing is a natural process. Ideal for converting poorly soluble APIs into a user-friendly form.
Effervescent tablets
Dissolve in water for a pleasant tasting drink that can deliver large quantities or multiple APIs in a single dose.
Instant drinks
Dissolve in water for a pleasant tasting drink that can deliver large quantities or multiple APIs in a single dose.
