Active Delivery Systems for OTC Drugs: Opportunity in Innovation

Description:

Active delivery systems, also known as targeted drug delivery systems, have introduced innovative ways to deliver actives in prescription pharmaceuticals for some time now. The shift from a "mass delivery" protocol to "optimized delivery" that started over 20 years ago is often attributed to the evolution of patches as a means of delivering actives. Now there is a wide range of novel delivery systems for many actives.

The need to deliver an active agent optimally to its site of action is so important that an entire section of the drug development industry caters to meeting this end. New delivery forms and systems continue to be introduced in an effort to boost the efficacy of medications, differentiate products from their competitors, better leverage advancing technologies, and improve convenience for the consumer.
