Adare’s Specialized Technologies:

The Parvulet ®Technology is a patient centric dosage solution that enables a solid powder or tablet to convert to a semi-solid in the presence of water within thirty seconds. The final dosage is easily administered, as a soft food like texture, ideal for pediatric and geriatric populations (including those with dysphagia).

AdvaTab® Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) incorporates coated or uncoated drug particles that are uniformly dispersed in a low-moisture, rapidly disintegrating matrix. Each ODT is formulated to achieve an acceptable taste and desired release profile. AdvaTab® technology is ideal for patients who have difficulty swallowing, pediatric, geriatric, and dysphagic patients. This technology can be combined with Microcaps® and Diffucaps® to create Immediate release or controlled release ODTs.

Diffucaps® Customized Release Technology has the flexibility to incorporate functional, release-controlling polymers or protective coatings onto drug-layered cores, granules, or crystals. This allows for easy adjustment of both dosage strength and dissolution profile to achieve the desired in vivo pharmacokinetic profile. Beads can have different release profiles, different active ingredients, or both—all in one product.

Microcaps® Taste Masking and Modified Release Technology achieves uniform and efficient coating of drug particles by coacervation (phase separation) to build polymeric membranes of varying porosity and thickness. The result is a free-flowing powder containing microencapsulated API (or API substrate) in a wide range of particle sizes. The Microcaps technology can be applied to multiple dosage forms for both immediate and modified-release profiles

MMTS TM Multi Mini Tablet System Customized Release Technology combines the simplicity of a tablet formulation with the flexibility of multiparticulate dosage forms with high drug-loading capability. Adare has developed Ultra Microtablets—a smaller standard of tablets targeting diameters in the range of 1.2 mm to even 1.0 mm. The small size facilitates the development of products that can offer multiple drugs or varying release profiles within a single capsule. The DIFFUTAB® technology is an effective solution for targeted drug delivery through customized and sustained release. The technology assists the development of high-dosage and sustained release products for once-daily administration. A matrix tablet is coated with functional polymers, followed by a blend of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers. Layered erosion and diffusion of the drug matrix tablet result in a controllable release.

Precision Particle Fabrication™ technology produces uniform microspheres and microcapsules with narrow size distribution and precise control over particle structure. The platform technology is flexible and customizable to accommodate a broad range of active ingredients, including small molecules, peptides, and proteins. The technology includes three platforms: Optimμm®, for oral delivery; StratμmTM, for injectable delivery; and Unisun®, for otic delivery.
