Overcome difficult-to-develop, multiple API products with Unigel™
(PRWEB) October 04, 2012
Patheon Inc., a leading provider of contract development and manufacturing services to the global pharmaceutical industry, announced today that the company will showcase its world class softgel technology, including Unigel™, at the CPHi Worldwide conference in Madrid, Spain on October 9-11, 2012. An exclusive feature to Patheon’s P-Gels™ service offering, Unigel™ helps to overcome challenges faced with difficult-to-develop formulations with multiple APIs. Unigel™ is the first dosage format that allows the combination of softgels within softgel, or tablets, beads or pellets within softgel. This technology opens the door to a wide variety of innovative formulation approaches, which can be used for life cycle management strategies or new chemical entities. Some of the technology’s distinct benefits include:
-
Multiple active ingredients
- Incompatible materials with different release profiles
- Liquids, granules, solids and hard capsules
- Fast and sustained release
- Gastric and intestinal release
Made available through a unique partnership between Patheon and Softigel of the Procaps Group, P-Gels™ is an innovative approach to softgel product development and manufacturing services for prescription pharmaceuticals. Launched earlier this year, pharmaceutical companies are already taking advantage of the unique offering and projects are ongoing. The softgel technology offers pharmaceutical companies shorter lead times, more manufacturing flexibility, freedom from intellectual property restrictions and a broad range of dosage formats that are leading technologies, such as Unigel™.
A presentation “Unlocking the Power of New Softgel Technology for Multiple API Formulations: Unigel” will be given at the ICSE Speaker’s Corner (10C78 in Hall 10) on Tuesday, October 9, 2012, at 2:30 p.m. Central European Time.

Patheon representatives, along with the company’s partners, Softigel, will be available to meet at the CPHi Worldwide conference in Madrid, Spain on October 9-11, 2012, and at the AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition in Chicago, Illinois on October 14-18, 2012.
