Improved Patient Experience

  • Formulation Flexibility: Renejix’s approach to formulation development is defined by its flexibility, adapting to the evolving needs of each project. This allows for a tailored approach to dosage form design, ensuring that the final product meets the specific requirements of the therapy and the patient.
  • GLP and GMP Formulations: Our early stage testing is supported by Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) formulations and test materials. This ensures that the foundation of our dosage forms is built on quality and compliance.
  • Seamless Transition: We guarantee a seamless transition from early stage formulations to stable, scalable finished dose forms. This smooth progression is critical for maintaining project timelines and ensuring the scalability of the dosage form.
  • Enhanced Therapeutic Profiles: By improving absorption, ensuring faster onset, and providing extended release, we enhance the therapeutic profiles of our dosage forms. This leads to better patient outcomes and more effective treatments.
  • Targeted Delivery: Our dosage forms are designed for targeted delivery, ensuring that the medication reaches the specific site of action, which can improve efficacy and reduce side effects.
  • Improved Therapeutic Adherence: Through thoughtful dosage form design, we aim to improve therapeutic adherence by making medication regimens simpler and more convenient for patients.
  • Minimized Food Effects: We develop dosage forms that minimize food effects, allowing for more consistent drug absorption and reducing the impact of dietary variations on medication efficacy.
  • Better Absorption: Optimizing the absorption of a drug is a primary goal in dosage form development. By enhancing the solubility and permeability of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), we can improve the bioavailability of the medication, ensuring that patients receive the full therapeutic benefit.
  • Faster Onset: The onset of action is critical for certain conditions where rapid relief is necessary. Our dosage form development strategies include the use of fast-dissolving carriers and other technologies to accelerate the release and absorption of the drug, providing quicker symptom relief.
  • Extended Release: Extended-release dosage forms are designed to release the API gradually over time, maintaining therapeutic levels in the bloodstream for longer periods. This can improve patient adherence by reducing the frequency of dosing and enhancing the overall convenience of the treatment regimen.
  • Reduced Dose Burden: By employing advanced formulation techniques, we aim to reduce the dose burden on patients. This involves concentrating the API, utilizing high-potency excipients, and improving the delivery system to ensure that smaller doses are just as effective.
  • Reduced Dose Frequency: Reducing the frequency of dosing not only improves patient convenience but also enhances adherence. Our extended-release formulations and novel delivery systems are engineered to require fewer doses per day, simplifying the patient’s medication schedule.
  • Patient Experience: Enhancing the patient experience is at the core of our formulation development. By focusing on the patient’s needs and preferences, we create dosage forms that are easier to take and more acceptable to different patient groups.
  • Taste Masking: We employ taste masking techniques to improve the dosing experience, particularly for special patient groups such as children, the elderly, psychiatric patients, and animals.
  • Easier Administration: Our dosage forms are designed for easier administration, ensuring that patients can take their medications without difficulty or discomfort.
  • Product Differentiation: Renejix utilizes unique technologies to create differentiated oral dosage products that attract prescribers and patients, setting our treatments apart in the competitive pharmaceutical market.

Technologies

  • Softgel: The softgel dosage form offers a versatile solution for delivering liquid or semi-solid drugs. Its smooth, gelatinous shell makes it easy to swallow and provides an effective barrier to protect sensitive ingredients from light and oxygen.
  • Gelatin-Free Capsule: Gelatin-free capsules provide a dosage form alternative for individuals with dietary restrictions. These capsules are made from plant-based materials and offer the same benefits as traditional gelatin capsules.
  • Lock Abuse-Resistant Technology: This technology is designed to deter the misuse of medications. The lock abuse-resistant dosage form ensures that the active ingredient is difficult to extract, which helps to prevent abuse.
  • DR Delayed Release: DR delayed release technology is a dosage form that controls the timing of drug release. This allows the medication to bypass the stomach and release at a specific point in the digestive system, enhancing efficacy and reducing side effects.
  • Minicaps: Minicaps are a smaller version of traditional capsules, making them an ideal dosage form for patients who have difficulty swallowing large pills. Despite their size, they can be engineered to carry an effective dose.
  • Microcaps: Microcaps are an advanced dosage form designed for precision delivery. They contain micro-sized capsules that can be tailored for targeted release, improving the absorption and effectiveness of the medication.
  • Modified Release: These technologies allow for the customization of drug release profiles. Modified release dosage forms can be designed for sustained, controlled, or delayed release, depending on the therapeutic needs.
  • Orally Dissolving Tablet: Orally dissolving tablets provide a convenient dosage form that disintegrates quickly in the mouth without the need for water, offering ease of administration and rapid onset of action.
  • Orally Disintegrating Film: This innovative dosage form consists of a thin film that dissolves rapidly on the tongue. Orally disintegrating films are discreet and ideal for on-the-go medication administration.
  • Oral Suspension: Oral suspensions are a liquid dosage form that allows for the suspension of insoluble drugs in a liquid medium. They are particularly useful for pediatric and geriatric patients who may have difficulty with solid dosage forms.
  • Emulsion: Emulsions are a dosage form that combines two immiscible liquids. They can enhance the bioavailability of drugs by improving the solubility of lipophilic compounds.
  • Microencapsulation: Microencapsulation is a dosage form technology that encases tiny particles or droplets of a drug within a coating. This can protect the active ingredient from degradation and control its release.
  • Multiparticulate: Multiparticulates are a dosage form composed of small, discrete particles. Each particle can be coated or layered to provide a specific release profile, offering flexibility in drug delivery.
  • Sublingual Tablet: Sublingual tablets are a dosage form designed to dissolve under the tongue, allowing for rapid absorption into the bloodstream and quicker therapeutic effects.
  • Chewable Tablet: Chewable tablets offer a user-friendly dosage form, especially for children or those who have difficulty swallowing. They can be flavored to improve palatability.
  • Effervescent Tablet: Effervescent tablets are a dosage form that dissolves in water to release carbon dioxide, resulting in a fizzy solution. This can enhance the taste and make the medication more appealing to take.
  • Topical Gel: Topical gels are a dosage form applied to the skin. They are designed to deliver medication locally or transdermally and can provide targeted therapy with minimal systemic exposure.
