TDS Patches and Oral strips
21 December 2004
Since 1995 OPTIMAGS delivers complete solutions for the pharmaceutical TDS-Coating-Plants. With our turn-key facilities markets in Europe, Asia and the USA has been established.
Now we extended our technology to deliver Oral-Strip-Plants. While TDS patches release their active ingredients through the skin, oral strips do this while melting on the tongue. This has some advantages:
no need of swallowing with which some people have difficulties.
no need of beverages
almost immediate onset of reaction to the released API
In contrast to the classical coating technology the knife coater of OPTIMAGS proved to provide the accuracy needed for the production of even low dosed therapeutic oral films.
Common TDS patches are:
Hormone-patches, Nicotine-patches, Analgesics-Patches, Contraception-Patches or Stimulant-therapy-Patches
