The drug delivery system contains active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Taken orally, the wafer-thin StripTabs dissolve on the tongue immediately. This type of medication, based on a starch and polymer solution, is used in pain and hormone therapies, as well for treating erectile dysfunction. StripTabs are currently being considered as a carrier for over 600 different APIs.
Purnandu Jain, chairman of the supervisory board and CEO of Ankur Drugs and Pharma, said: “Our customers are very interested in taking the user-friendly film tablets. This innovative pharmaceutical dosage form has the potential to dramatically change and expand the landscape of traditional dosage forms.
“As a partner, we rely on Romaco’s expertise in the area of pharmaceutical technology and manufacturing systems engineering. Our close collaboration during the design and construction of the StripTabs line showed us just how seriously our technological specifications were being taken and how successfully they were implemented.”
