Softgel Technology Platform

Softgel is a highly versatile delivery system for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). These softgel capsules consist of a gelatin-based shell filled with liquid or semi-solid substances. The technology offers significant benefits over traditional solid dosage forms like tablets and hard capsules such as the ease of swallowing, enhanced bioavailability, and improved stability of active ingredients. Due to these advantages, softgel technology has been adopted widely by the pharmaceutical industry. At our company, we developed a drug softgel technology platform that allows us to efficiently encapsulate a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds in a softgel dosage form. Our technology platform is based on years of research and development, and it combines advanced formulation techniques with state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to create softgels that are stable, consistent, and highly bioavailable.

The Benefits of Softgel

Improved Bioavailability

The encapsulated liquid matrix allows for faster and more complete absorption of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract, enhancing the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs.

Patient Compliance

Softgels are easier to swallow compared to tablets and hard capsules. This factor significantly improves patient compliance, especially among pediatric and geriatric populations.

Precision Dosing

Softgel capsules provide precise dosing of the active ingredient, which is essential for maintaining efficacy and safety in drug administration.

Stability

The hermetically sealed environment within the softgel capsule protects sensitive ingredients from oxidation and other environmental factors, enhancing the shelf life of the product.

Versatility

Softgels can accommodate a wide variety of fill formulations, including liquids, suspensions, and emulsions, making them highly versatile for various therapeutic applications.

Access Our Softgel Technology Platform

At our platform, our dedicated team of scientists and technicians is adept at managing the entire softgel capsule production process, from initial development to commercialization. Up to now, we have successfully developed over 40 diverse softgel capsule products and produced numerous batches. Here are some of the services and capabilities that our platform can offer:

Pre-formulation and Feasibility Studies

Our team can conduct thorough pre-formulation and feasibility studies to determine the best approach for your product. This includes assessing the physical and chemical properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients.

Softgel Capsule Fill Formulation Development

Our scientists are well-versed in developing fill formulations that maximize the therapeutic efficacy of the APIs. This includes creating stable suspensions, solutions, or emulsions suitable for softgel encapsulation.

Shell Development

We also specialize in developing gelatin shells that are both robust and suitable for the encapsulated fill material. This ensures the integrity and consistency of the final product.

Small-scale Lab Encapsulation for Early Stability Data and Final Formulation Selection

Before moving to large-scale production, we can perform small-scale lab encapsulation. This step provides early stability data and helps in the final selection of the most promising formulation.

Reliable Supply from Clinical Phases to Commercial Manufacturing

We can manufacture softgel products that are suitable for use from early clinical stages to commercial stage. Our robust processes and strict quality control measures ensure that you receive consistent and high-quality products.
