High performance ingredients and excipients for complex drug delivery formulations via the oral, transdermal and parenteral routes
Thursday, July 29, 12pm - 4pm EDT
This workshop is designed to give the attendees a detailed overview of excipients used in formulations for
various routes of administration. The content has been structured to provide practical benefits for the
beginner through experienced drug formulator. The workshop program has dedicated sessions for oral,
transdermal and parenteral delivery drug formulations so that attendees can select the most appropriate
sessions for their current and future project needs.
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (w/15 min. Q&A):
“Oral Excipients for Drug Release for Immediate, Enteric, and Colonic Modulated Release”
This session will focus on the evaluation and selection of excipients that can be used to achieve taste
masking, enteric protection, and colonic release. Excipients that exhibit pH-dependent and independent
solubility will be discussed as well as novel approaches to target drug release in the gastrointestinal tract.
“Roles Played by Excipients in Transdermal Drug Delivery Advances”
In this session attendees will learn about the evolution and formulation development of transdermal drug delivery, from patches to microneedles, as an attractive alternative to oral or parenteral delivery.
“Excipients for Complex Parenteral Formulations”
In this double session, attendees will learn about a variety of contemporary approaches and formulation
techniques for complex parenteral drug delivery.
