Diffucaps® is a controlled-release technology that provides a number benefits to your drug product.
Diffucaps controls drug delivery and optimizes release profiles
- Adjustable dosage strength and dissolution profile to achieve the desired in vivo pharmacokinetic profile
- Available as a capsule, orally disintegrating tablet, rapidly disintegrating tablet, or as a sprinkle
- Enhances drug solubility in sections of the gastrointestinal tract through combined use with other Adare technologies
- Reduces gastric mucosal irritation and food effect
Multiparticulate system with release-controlling polymers
- One or more functional polymer membranes are applied to a drug core resulting in a small, multi-layered bead
- Solubility-modulation technology can be used to create an optimal pH
- Organic acid layer is placed underneath the drug layer, while the alkaline buffer is placed over the drug layer
- Coatings ensure that the individual layers are not depleted until release of the drug is complete
Solid-Solution or Solid-Dispersion for Enhanced Solubility
An alternative to our standard Diffucaps® system, Solid-Solution or Solid-Dispersion Diffucaps® enhance solubility by preserving a drug’s amorphous form. Additional functional polymers can achieve extended release profiles.
