New Combination Tech Improves Co-localisation of Active Drug Components
A combination of two inhaled respiratory drug molecules in a pre-determined ratio within Multi-component Particles (MCP) can significantly improve co-localisation of the active drug components in the lung.
UK-based respiratory medicines developer Prosonix has revealed new research demonstrating that a combination of two inhaled respiratory drug molecules in a pre-determined ratio within Multi-component Particles (MCP) can significantly improve co-localisation of the active drug components in the lung.
The presentation was made by Prosonix’ Dipesh Parikh at the Drug Delivery to the Lungs 2011 (DDL2011) conference in Edinburgh, UK.
Prosonix says its UMAX technology has enabled the development of an MCP, which combines budesonide (BDS) and formoterol fumarate dihydrate (FFD) in a single particle, in a pre-determined ratio with ‘exquisite’ control and consistency.
