For All Round Consistency and Robustness.
Your choice for drug layering applications.
Multiparticulate drug delivery systems are increasing as pharmaceutical companies seek to improve clinical effectiveness. Sugar spheres, as a starting substrate, provide a reliable platform for drug loading.
SUGLETS from Colorcon are uniform drug layering pellets, made of sucrose and starch, for sustained or extended release dosage forms. With low friability, consistent sphericity, tight particle size control and high batch-to-batch uniformity, SUGLETS are ideal for drug loading applications.
The selection of the right sugar sphere is a crucial part of the formulation, so it’s important to understand the critical success factors for drug loading:
- Surface roughness and sphericity to ensure uniform application
- Reliable and reproducible uniformity for batch-to-batch consistency
- Range of particle sizes to meet different dose levels
- Low friability and hardness to withstand the rigors of processing
Available in a range of sizes, the smooth, spherical surface of the sugar spheres, combined with low friability and high batch-to-batch uniformity provide the ideal surface for drug loading and tight particle control.
SUGLETS specifications as outlined in the current version of the USP/NF and PhEur, and are in compliance with applicable excipient GMP requirements based on the USP/NF General Chapter and Good Manufacturing Processes for Bulk Pharmaceutical Excipients.
With manufacturing sites dedicated to pharmaceutical production of sugar spheres, you can be confident that SUGLETS meet the lowest microbial levels and premium quality expected from a highly reputable supplier of pharmaceutical excipients.
Contact Colorcon to find out why SUGLETS should be your first choice for consistent quality!
