MicroTabs
Our
New Delivery System for Individualized and Personalized Prescriptions
|
|
| |
|
BIOGENERICS
has developed a matrix system that allows easy mixing and exact
dosing of multiple compounds and products, based on the individual
needs of each patient, by using the innovative technology of
MicroTabs.
|
 |
The
complex treatment of today’s chronic and degenerative diseases often requires
the prescription of a great many products for the different symptoms
and root causes. Industrialized and standardized mass production
of mono- or multi-compounds in tablets and capsules cannot take
the individual needs of each patient into consideration. Very often,
the patient has to take four to six different products in a varying
number of dosage forms – or even more. Proper compliance
is not assured, and individual factors like gender, age and weight
complicate the matter even further. |
|
As the causes and symptoms of most diseases
and conditions vary from patient to patient, individualized prescriptions
are required. Pharmacies and medical clinics, which will compound
these prescriptions, usually do not have sophisticated production
equipment available. Therefore, they need products and compounds
in a uniform delivery form that allows easy and accurate mixing
of a large number of products and combinations. |
|
MicroTabs
offer the following features: |
|
|
Every MicroTab is exactly 2 mm in diameter and height. |
|
Every MicroTab contains an exact amount of
the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and has, including
exipients, the same weight.
|
|
Every MicroTab complies with the requirements of Ph.Eur. |
|
All these characteristics enable
accurate, convenient and homogeneous mixing directly at the point
of sale, even when exact therapeutic dosing is required. It can
be achieved with standard balanced weighing scales and small-scale
mixers. |
|
Further
advantages are: |
|
|
Mono- and multi-compounds combined in one
MicroTab
|
|
VDifferent
galenic formulations, including enteric coating and modified
release (quick, prolonged or sustained), depending on the individual
characteristics of the actives and therapeutic requirements
|
|
Taste masking
|
|
Separation of incompatibles
|
|
Assured stability |
|
The
advantages for the patients are: |
|
|
Exact and individualized dosing and formulations, based on therapeutic
requirements and the physiological conditions of each patient |
|
One administration for all the different compounds at one time
to assure compliance |
|
Easy to swallow, even in large quantities |
|
Faster release of actives in comparison to conventional tablets |
|
Better transport in the gastrointestinal tract, with reduced or
no irritations |
|
Convenient
and exact dosing |
|
For dosing and delivery of the products, we offer the
following measuring aids: |
|
|
Our
measure cup is suitable and convenient for dosages of 1–5
grams and more.
|
|
|
If smaller or exact therapeutic dosing is
required, we recommend our unique measuring spoon. It contains
50 inlets matching exactly the physiological dimensions of the
MicroTabs. As every MicroTab contains exactly the same amount of
the active compounds, accurate dosing is assured. |
|
Alternatively, the MicroTabs can also be filled
into gelatin or vegetable hard shell capsules. |
MicroTabs
also offer advantages when compared to dry powder suspensions and
liquid formulations: |
|
|
|
Exact and individual dosing |
|
Easy to swallow, without unpleasant taste |
|
No preservatives |
|
Convenient
handling and storage |
|
