Rational Design Of Modified Release Dosage Forms: From Pharmacokinetic Targets Through Technology Selection

Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Pharma Manufacturing & Supply Chain, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Thursday, September 12, 2013

During this webinar the presenters will discuss:

  •  Wide array of scalable dosage form technologies available:
    • Tablet vs Multiparticulates (pediatric, geriatric, high dose)
    • Continuous release (Zero order, First order) vs. Pulsatile
      (taste masking, enteric, delayed)
  • Matching technology strengths with API properties: Highly soluble APIs to Solubilized forms
  • Bringing all of the choices together through biological modeling

Speakers
