Patient-Centric Formulations:
Strategies for Differentiated Oral Drugs
About this webinar
While advancements in drug delivery are continually improving drug efficacy and bioavailability, there is still a significant unmet need in terms of developing formulations that make patients’ lives easier. Patient-centricity is not only about best supporting the end user – it’s also about differentiating your product in a sea of oral drug formulations, particularly when looking to file a generic or 505(b)(2) application. This webinar will discuss some key challenges of oral drug formulations, including the swallowability of tablets, bitter taste, and the inconvenience of multiple doses. The team at Lubrizol Life Science Health (LLS Health) will then uncover strategies for overcoming these challenges which will also help differentiate your product, such as with extended drug release, taste masking, and tablet size reduction.
