Catalent Expert Presents New Technologies, Advancing Controlled Release and Odt Tablet Design Options at 38th Annual Crs Conference

Michael J. Valazza R.Ph., Vice President, Global Modified Release Technologies, Catalent Pharma Solutions, will be presenting at the 38th Annual Controlled Release Society Conference on July 30-August 3, 2011, at National Harbor, Maryland.

Mr. Valazza's presentation, “Recent Advances in Oral Disintegrating Tablets, Oral Granules and Bi-Layer Tablets Technologies”, will take place on Sunday, July 31 from 8:30 - 9:30 AM as part of a releasing technology workshop (Maryland rooms 3 and 4).

This workshop will focus on new advancements in modified controlled release technologies, including novel OSDrC® OPTIDOSETM optimized dose delivery technology, controlled release and Lyopan® orally fast-dissolve technologies.

Optimized Products and Better Treatments:

OSDrC® OPTIDOSETM optimized dose delivery technology offers the broadest range of controlled release, combination (tablet-within-a-tablet) products, and orally disintegrating tablets to optimize dosing, therapeutic, and plasma release profiles to meet patient needs in a high quality, one step manufacturing process.

Lyopan® technology offers the potential for increasing the range of prescription and consumer drug products that can be formulated as a lyophilized fast- dissolve dosage form because it uses less water. This proprietary technology may be applicable to the formulation of higher doses of soluble drugs than is currently feasible and may enable incorporation of coated API for enhanced taste-masking and controlled release.
