Piramal Pharma Solutions Reveals Cutting-Edge Capsule Tablet Capabilities
Piramal Pharma Solutions, a global leader in contract development and manufacturing, has made significant strides in the pharmaceutical sector with its advanced tablet-in-capsule technology, successfully developing and commercializing drug delivery systems at its facilities in Pithampur and Ahmedabad, India. This initiative not only demonstrates Piramal's manufacturing capabilities but also emphasizes its commitment to patient-centric solutions.
Integrated Manufacturing Approach
The project saw a seamless transfer of technology and robust collaboration between teams at both sites, illustrating the strength and integration of Piramal's operations. Within just five months, the team at Ahmedabad’s Piramal Pharmaceutical Development Services (PPDS) successfully transitioned technology to the commercial production facility in Pithampur, ensuring readiness for the mass production of encapsulated tablets.
Dr. Brad Gold, Head of Global Formulations R&D at Piramal Pharma Solutions, highlighted the significance of this initiative, stating, "Our tablet-in-capsule technology offers unparalleled flexibility in dosing and delivery control, expediting timelines for developers while simplifying treatment regimens for patients."
Transformative Drug Delivery System
Traditional capsules typically contain a mix of active ingredients and excipients within a hard shell. While they are easy to absorb and use, their rigid dosage forms often limit flexibility, making them less ideal for treatments that require complex administration methods. In contrast, the tablet-in-capsule technology provides a unique solution where multiple active ingredients can be formulated into their own tablets or mini-tablets, which are then encapsulated together in a single shell.
This innovative approach allows for distinct coatings on mini-tablets, enabling developers to create varied release profiles for a single drug or across different medications. Moreover, it facilitates the combination of incompatible active ingredients into one capsule, enhancing adherence by reducing the frequency of doses a patient must take.
Enhancing Patient-Centric Solutions
The implementation of the tablet-in-capsule technology not only optimizes the stability of formulations but also furthers Piramal's mission to prioritize patient needs. By offering options that allow for double active ingredients in a single capsule or varying release profiles, this technology streamlines treatment protocols and boosts patient compliance with their therapeutic regimens.
