Definition and Importance of Excipients in Medicinal Products
Excipients are essential but integral components of medicines. They perform several functions that are important for the safe use of medical products. However, there still remains a lot of ambiguity on what excipients are, their safety and if they should be removed from products, especially products intended for very young children. This article aims to answer all these and many other questions you...

Addressing Formulation Needs With a Different Technology: Say “Hello” to Ion Exchange Resins
Ion exchange is a solution for many formulation challenges, including modified release, taste masking of bitter drugs, improvement of solubility of poorly soluble APIs, and as an abuse deterrent. The different drug delivery systems that ion exchange can be used in is fairly diverse, which is one of the main attributes of the material. This Whitepaper discusses the utility of ion-exchange resins from...

Utilising Dynamic Dissolution Testing to Predict Gastrointestinal Behaviour of Modified Release Products
In-vitro dissolution tests that correlate with in vivo behaviour provide a better understanding of bioavailability while also permitting setting of a product's acceptance criteria and formulation parameters. When developing oral modified release products, formulators often face challenges of selecting optimal test media and protocols with which to conduct such dissolution tests. Catch up in this webinar where we review the concept of dynamic dissolution testing and application to new formulation screening, assessment of inter/intra-subject variability of GI pH and effect on drug release, design of robust modified release formulations using physiologically relevant bicarbonate buffers and batch release testing and quality control. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6CyGami3UybZ1WmTDy_6AQ
