Formulation Development
The team at Cormica can meet your formulation needs, developing “phase – appropriate” formulations tailored to the characteristics of the API, for NCEs and generics alike.
offer a fast, cost effective and flexible approach to formulation development of drug product:
- The team have considerable expertise of developing and testing formulations from simple to complex (e.g. powders, solids, liquids, creams, gels, slow release, fast release) across a range of delivery routes (oral, nasal, inhalable, injectable, topical).
- The team works alongside material science, DMPK investigators and toxicologists to design an effective formulation screening programmes to de-risk your programme and solve challenges with formulation development.
