Excipient Functionality

In the highly competitive and increasingly global pharmaceutical market, there is mounting pressure on Research and Development (R&D) programs to shorten development time and get products to market faster. This demand results in the need for high performance functional excipients and advanced film coating systems. 

Pharmaceutical Excipients

Faced with more complex active ingredients, formulators are demanding greater functionality and performance from pharmaceutical excipients than ever before. In addition, shortened development cycles mean less time to investigate new ingredients, forcing pharmaceutical developers to rely on proven excipients that fulfill multiple functions.

Designed specifically for use in the formulation of solid oral dosage forms, functional excipients from Colorcon® offer proven benefits to formulators by combining several properties in a single product. Manufactured under cGMP guidelines in modern facilities dedicated solely to the production of pharmaceutical excipients, our products bring multi-functional benefits to tablets and capsule formulations through binding capability, improved disintegrant/dissolution properties, and enhanced flow and lubricity. Our modified release product range offers versatile polymers for extended/controlled release applications such as matrix tablets, osmotic tablets and multi-particulates.

Advanced Film Coating Systems

Our advanced film coating systems offer benefits to customers in terms of cost effectiveness and enhanced productivity, taste masking, gas barrier and moisture protection, as well as aesthetic benefits such as high gloss and pearlescent finishes. Film coatings also help to achieve controlled and programmable drug release. Colorcon’s portfolio of products and services can assist in achieving your targeted drug dissolution profile for any solid dose. 

Formulation Assistance

Formulation resources offered by Colorcon simplify your development process and reduce the time for initial formulation. Through our HyperStart® Oral Solid Dose Formulation Service, Colorcon helps shorten the time spent on initial formulation by providing customers with a starting formulation for hydrophilic matrix tablets. Additionally, our technical experts are available to assist with tablet and capsule formulation, coating formulation selection, process optimization, scale-up support and more.
