Liquid Dosage Drug Formulation Development Services

Liquid dosage forms are most commonly found in medicines for geriatric and pediatric patients. However, they have certain advantages, including fast efficacy due to the absence of dissolution time and more rapid absorption in the stomach and intestines than tablets. These may be important factors in certain treatments such as pain relief. Liquid dosage form development include:

• Preformulation studies primarily help in lead identification during the drug discovery phase.
• Clinical formulation development is focused on clinical dosage forms.

Clinical formulation development pertains to the production of small batches of clinical dosage forms prior to commercial pharmaceutical manufacturing at a full scale. After the formulation development of clinical dosage forms, commercial formulation development occurs.

Process definition and development are some of the most crucial parts of commercial formulation development. It is the strategy via which a pharmaceutical contract manufacturing process is identified for a drug substance from an early stage through scale-up and tech transfer to commercial pharmaceutical manufacturing.
