What are the Innovations in Pediatric Formulation?
Recent innovations are helping to overcome some of the challenges in pediatric formulation:
1. Mini-tablets: These are small enough for children to swallow and can be dosed more accurately than liquid formulations. 2. Orodispersible Films: Thin films that dissolve quickly in the mouth, which are useful for children who have difficulty swallowing. 3. Taste-Masking Technologies: Advanced technologies like microencapsulation help mask the unpleasant taste of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
