Adare Pharma Solutions is a world leader in organic-phase coacervation for pharmaceutical products.
Our proprietary taste masking platforms can improve product acceptability and patient adherence
Increasingly, format flexibility is becoming a requirement to address patient issues such as swallowing. The FDA also continues to push for pediatric-friendly formulations. Taste, smell, and mouth feel are the key product features to address when developing pediatric formulations. And Incremental formulation and clinical research costs require cost-effective solutions with flexibility in manufacturing scale. These drivers are why customers continue to come back to Adare Pharma Solutions for their taste-masking challenges.
Among various taste masking strategies, physical barrier is one of the most efficient technologies, and Adare offers industrially feasible physical barrier technologies, such as Microcaps® and Optimµm®, for taste masking and dosage forms for pediatric populations.
