In an effort to improve stability and shelf life of a drug, the active ingredients in many therapeutics are typically mixed with a number of other inactive chemicals. The end result of this process, called formulation, is commonly a liquid solution or suspension. However, for certain drugs, which are prone to degradation or aggregation, alternative processes, like freeze-drying, are effective to improve stability.

Freeze-drying, also called lyophilization, is a technique used to generate dry drug products with improved stability and acceptable shelf life. 

In this webinar you will learn:

• A general understanding of the use and advantages of the lyophilization process
• The lyophilization process, abilities and limitations 
• The process by which a freeze-dried pharmaceutical product is developed
