Controlled Release
Many pharmaceutical formulations require time-dependent release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The order and time profile of the API release is formulation specific and optimized towards the required therapeutic objectives. ABITEC manufactures and supplies a range of products that can be readily employed in the formulation of controlled-release dosage forms.
