Precision Powder In Capsule Micro Dosing Accelerates Drug Product Development
Advancing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through the drug product-development lifecycle is fraught with challenges. Development timelines are tight, so it’s crucial to determine early in the process if an API is a viable candidate for clinical testing. A key tool that has emerged to address these combined issues of tight timelines and complex molecules is precision powder micro-dosing in capsules. This paper describes the use of precision micro-dosing to prepare API powder-in-capsule (PIC) dosage forms for oral or pulmonary administration.

Root Cause Investigation Into A Possible Container Closure Integrity Failure
In cases where oxidation of the formulation causes discoloration and eventual degradation of the product, non-destructive headspace analysis tests can give deep insight into the root cause. Since the samples are not destroyed by the headspace analysis, further testing can be done to accurately correlate headspace conditions with other product characteristics.

Redefining Fast Melt For Pharma With 3D Printing
Adults and children alike often struggle with compliance and acceptance of medication regimens due to the sizes and shape of prescribed tablets. One pharmaceutical manufacturer sought to create a convenient, easy-to-swallow dosage form by taking an alternative approach: three-dimensional printing (3DP). This white paper outlines their approach to creating an FDA validated manufacturing process for rapidly disintegrating dosage forms.
