Oral Solid Dosage: The Quiet Strength in the Pharma Industry

There is a lot of press coverage regarding new and innovative technologies, from vaccine production to cell therapy, however oral solid dosage (OSD) remains one of the most effective means to administer certain pharmaceutical drugs. OSD technology has been around for generations and is still considered to be the most cost-effective and patient-friendly form of certain drugs. Submission approvals by the FDA for new drug applications (NDA’s) include many drugs based on OSD. It is a tried and true system for many drugs.

This presentation covers the basics regarding OSD products, development, equipment, and facility design. This is not an expert class but a broad overview of the value of the dosage form, latest trends, technologies, and impact on facility design. The subject matter is quite broad but we will try to cover a broad spectrum of aspects and value of the technology. This presentation is best suited for a pharmaceutical professional that would like to broaden their understanding of OSD technology.

Please join us and our panel for an evening discussing a strong but quiet pharmaceutical technology that still provides many benefits.
