Inspiring liquid dosage forms that put patient experience center stage

Better drug design and delivery options can help improve patient compliance – like novel suspension and solution liquid dosage forms. Suspensions are defined as finely divided insoluble drugs dispersed in a liquid vehicle. They can be available as a ready-to-use liquid suspension or a dry powder reconstitutable suspension. The latter is dispersed in water by the patient, caregiver or pharmacist before intake. On the other hand, solutions are liquid preparations in which the drug (and excipients) are dissolved in a suitable solvent or aqueous system.

Excipients are needed in liquid dosage forms – as suspending agents, protective colloids, wetting agents, buffers, preservatives, sweeteners, and more – to support the effective delivery of the pharmaceutical, while enhancing patient experience. IFF Pharma Solutions can help you deliver on the promise of liquid dosage forms with high patient acceptance.
