Drop Development Services
Pharmaceutical drops are liquid formulations of medications designed for topical application, usually by dropping them directly into the eyes, nose, or ears, or by placing them under the tongue (oral drops). Drops provide a convenient and effective method of delivering small doses of medication, ensuring precise dose control and effective absorption.
Protheragen-ING specializes in the formulation and development of liquid drops, providing innovative solutions to meet our customers' unique needs. With our expertise in drug development and manufacturing, we offer a comprehensive range of services to assist in the creation of safe, effective, and high-quality drop formulations.
Classification of Drops
Drops can be categorized into different categories based on their intended use and application areas. In our drug drop development services, we offer comprehensive development solutions tailored to your specific needs.
- Eye Drops - Formulated specifically for ophthalmic use to treat eye disorders such as dryness, allergies, infections, and glaucoma.
- Ear Drops - designed to treat ear infections, and inflammation or to help remove excessive ear wax.
- Nasal Drops - used to relieve nasal congestion, allergies, sinusitis, and other nasal conditions.
- Oral Drops - usually used for certain medications such as vitamins, homeopathic remedies, or sublingual immunotherapy.
The Development Process of Drops
1. Ingredient Selection
active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, and preservatives are carefully selected based on their compatibility, stability, and efficacy.
2. Formulation Development
Formulation of ingredients in appropriate quantities and concentrations to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
3. Sterilization and Filtration
Ensuring the sterility of the formulation through processes such as sterilization or filtration, depending on the specific requirements.
4. Filling and packaging
The formulated drops are transferred into appropriate containers and sealed under controlled conditions to maintain product integrity and prevent contamination.
Techniques for The Preparation of Drops
In the preparation of drops, we use a variety of technical methods to ensure accurate dosage, sterility, and stability of the formulation.
- Aseptic production.
- Filtration.
- Homogenization.
- Sterilization, such as autoclaving (steam sterilization), filtration, or irradiation.
- Quality control and testing, including pH measurements, viscosity determination, sterility testing, and stability studies.
Our expertise
Our expertise covers various aspects of drop formulation, including:
- Formulation Development: Our experienced team of scientists and formulators will work closely with you to develop a customized drop formulation that meets your requirements. We take into consideration factors such as drug compatibility, stability, viscosity, and patient comfort.
- Compatibility Studies: We conduct extensive compatibility studies to ensure that the active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients used in the formulation are compatible and do not interact negatively, leading to compromised efficacy or stability.
- Preservative System Design: Drops are susceptible to microbial contamination. We specialize in designing effective preservative systems to ensure the safety and integrity of the product throughout its shelf life.
- Container Closure System Selection: We assist in selecting the appropriate container closure system that maintains the stability and integrity of the drop formulation, preventing leakage or contamination.
