Powder-Filled Capsules

Patheon's extensive experience spans the stabilization of hundreds of new chemical entities, many with challenging properties such as low bulk density and low bioavailability and solubility.

Powder-filled capsules are ideal for early-phase development, and Patheon has the expertise and resources to help you pursue proof of concept with minimum use of expensive API. We also have the capability to dose neat API in a capsule.
