The Soft Side of Drug Delivery
Summary: Learn the story behind the recipient of The Medicine Maker Innovation Award – OptiShell® technology. OptiShell technology won the innovation award for its focus on the natural plant based ingredient as opposed to gelatin and its ability to encapsulate higher melting point fill formulations. Keith Tanner, one of the first scientists to work on the non-gelatin based technology shares the developmental story behind the innovation and explains how non-gelatin based softgels are compatible with a wider range of excipients and can encapsulate a range of highly viscous and semi-solid formulations.
