Taste Masked Veterinary Product
ANTIPARASITIC MEDICATION FOR PETS WITH TASTE MASKING TECHNOLOGY
DESCRIPTION
The technological development consists of an ingredient or final product for veterinary use for the oral administration of drugs in combination at a fixed dose. Its main objective is to facilitate the pharmacotherapy of antiparasitics, by masking unpleasant flavors, odors or textures through its co-processing with excipients. Additionally, by generating a co-encapsulated structure, dose uniformity problems that arise during storage or in stages of the production process where segregation by size is frequently observed for mixtures are avoided.
APPLICATIONS
In veterinary medicine to improve the acceptability of oral antiparasitic products.
ADVANTAGES
• Broad spectrum of activity.
• Efficient mask of the bad taste of antiparasitics.
• Easy to administer with food.
• Scalable production method.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS
Laboratory scale prototype (Approximately 3 grams of yield)
