Dose-dumping preventative
Eudratec ADD formulation technology provides robust modified-release coatings
that resist alcohol-induced dose dumping. Technology uses bilayer coating of
Eudragit polymers that allows you to achieve same release profiles in up to 40 per-
cent hydro-alcoholic medium (equivalent to neat whiskey or vodka) as in aqueous
medium. Company offers broad range of functional polymers for use in pharmaceu-
tical coatings and other solid dosage applications.
