Clinical trials are essential for licensing pharmaceutical products, so carrying them out requires operational excellence.

Formulation development services are crucial for developing formulations and identifying the most ideal dosage forms for their pre-clinical or clinical applications. The services require the proper equipment, fully equipped facilities, and formulation development specialists.

Product development process in pharmaceutical industry

The pharmaceutical development process is a complex task that involves several stages before the final product is created.

These stages include pre-clinical efficacy and safety trials, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) development and manufacturing, R&D, drug substance and drug product development and manufacturing, clinical trials material packaging and logistics, and regulatory compliance checks.
