Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer

The method by which drugs enter the body, and the rate at which their active ingredients are released, are crucial in the pharmaceutical, personal care and health care industries. Drug delivery systems fall into five broad categories: oral, transdermal, pulmonary, parenteral and mucosal. The system selected for the delivery of a drug is decided by consideration of a number of factors, including the requirement for simple self-administration, or the need for treatment of only a small area of the body, such as an ulcer.
In all cases, the controlled release of the active agents in a tablet, inhaler or patch for instance, must be guaranteed, both to optimise performance and to ensure the patient's comfort and safety. These release characteristics can now be measured accurately and easily through texture analysis, which is now emerging as a key technique for quality control in the pharmaceutical sector. Texture analysis techniques can be used at all stages of the manufacturing process, including research and development, ingredient selection, production and packing.
