Improved stability - helping to stabilise your products, from formulation to storage

Formulation stability during development, manufacturing, and storage is essential to drug product efficacy and safety. Whether you are looking to improve the stability of existing products or looking to incorporate it into new formulations, our services and expertise can quickly provide a solution.

Increased loading - optimised efficacy and minimising dosing burden

Many injectable and oral solid dosage forms can be restricted by extremely low drug concentrations per dose due to the nature of the compounds. As a result, there is a risk of reduced efficacy and increased frequency of dosing. This can have a critical effect on patient compliance and clinical outcomes.

Change of aesthetics - help to differentiate your products in a crowded market

We help manufacturers to improve the appearance of their products. Optical changes to pharmaceutical products can make them more appealing to consumers, giving your product an advantage against the competition. Our reformulation service provides enhanced optical properties while maintaining the functional properties.

Replacing ingredients - introduce alternative raw materials into formulations while maintaining or improving product performance.

The need to replace raw materials can be driven by regulatory and consumer demands, or might be required to improve the existing formulation. Altering the raw materials in a formulation, even replacing one ingredient for another, can often cause unforeseen and unwanted results. Lucideon's experts can help with this process.
