Liquid and Semi-Solid Formulation Development for Drugs

Many of today's most promising new drug candidates have a common profile, they exhibit poor water solubility, and thus poor bioavailability. Formulating in liquids or semi-solids can overcome these bioavailability issues. It is also an excellent way to handle high potency compounds safely, reformulate existing drugs for life-cycle management/extended patent protection, and develop line extensions for OTC products. To assist customers in this area, Capsugel created a state-of-the-art Pharmaceutical Research and Development Center.

With a specialty in lipid-based formulations, the Center utilizes the LicapsŪ Drug Delivery System, a suite of products and services designed specifically for liquid formulations. Offering services from pre-clinical to commercial production, the Center is remarkably flexible in terms of partnering with clients to match their exact needs.
