Recent advances in controlled release, solubility, and ODT applications presented by Catalent expert

This educational workshop will focus on new advancements in modified controlled release technologies, including novel OSDrC® OptiDoseTM optimized dose delivery technology, solubility enhancement with OptiMeltTM hot melt extrusion, and case studies of Zydis® fast-dissolve applications.

Optimized Products and Better Treatments:

OSDrC® OptiDoseTM optimized dose delivery technology offers the broadest range of controlled release, combination (tablet-within-a-tablet) products, and loosely compressed beads encased in tablets to optimize dosing, therapeutic, and plasma release profiles to meet patient needs in a high quality, one step manufacturing process.

Zydis® fast-dissolve tablets are the innovator brand in orally disintegrating tablets and offers the potential for increasing the range of prescription and consumer drug products that can be formulated as a lyophilized fast-dissolve dosage form. This proprietary technology has been applied to launch an ODT vaccine that was previously administered through subcutaneous injection. Buccal absorption, taste-masking, and patient convenience make Zydis® fast-dissolve tablets ideal for numerous therapeutic areas.
