Tablets and capsules have long been a simple and cost-effective way of drug delivery. However, depending on their size,shape and surface texture, more than 50% of people find them uncomfortable to swallow. User-friendly dosage forms are designed to suit modern patients and consumers, offering ease of swallowing, choice and convenience, plus a selection of flavors. They are not only a smart solution for people who dislike or simply cannot swallow tablets. They also support healthcare companies to revitalize ageing products, boost brand loyalty and differentiate products from the competition.

Tablets and capsules are a simple and cost-efficient way of drug delivery. However, millions of people all over the world fail to take their medicines correctly – simply because they have difficulties swallowing tablets and capsules. One simple solution for the pharma industry is to make medicines easier to take. And that’s what we do at HERMES PHARMA: We help turning active pharmaceutical ingredients into medicines that people like to take. We create medicines in different, user-friendly forms, such as orally disintegrating granules, instant drinks, lozenges, effervescent and chewable tablets.

A recent study conducted in the US and Germany shows that more than half of the population – regardless of age or gender – has problems swallowing tablets and capsules. From breaking and dissolving to not taking them at all, people invent their own strategies to cope with tablets – unfortunately, this may reduce efficacy and treatment success. 

We at HERMES PHARMA have over 40 years of experience in developing and manufacturing pharmaceuticals that are effective and easier to take than conventional tablets and capsules.
