Complete solutions for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical coatings
Coatings play a crucial role in enhancing patient compliance and adherence to prescription drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as improving consumer experience for nutraceuticals and over-the-counter (OTC) markets.
Film coating solutions
From masking unpleasant tastes and odors to protecting prescription drugs, supplements and over-the-counter solutions from environmental stressors such as moisture, light and oxygen, film coating offers a world of benefits for patients, consumers and manufacturers.
For patients and consumers, properly coated tablets mean a more attractive appearance, an easier to swallow tablet, which helps improve compliance, particularly for pediatric and geriatric patients, as well as those diagnosed with mental health conditions.
Going beyond this, they also facilitate the identification of drugs and dietary supplements by allowing the use of different colors, printing and engraving on the dosage form, which reduces the risk of medication error.
For manufacturers, choosing the right coating can mean a reduced use of resources and a lower impact on the environment. Coatings also help reduce dust during packaging and limit cross-contamination. They improve active ingredient stability and packaging efficiency and make sure brands stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Simpler drug identification, enhanced flavor and odor and easier swallowing. The result? Better medication adherence, better healthcare outcomes and better quality of life.
