Products formulated specifically for children, adolescents, young
adults and geriatric consumer markets are the fastest-growing
category of Rx drugs. Many times FDA is granting exclusivity to many
drugs. Good for therapeutic categories such as Cancer, AIDS,
Diabetes, Cardiovascular, CNS, and Alzheimer’. Patients can use
better dosage forms such as O.D.D for good taste and for taking the
drug without the use
of water. Rapid dispersible tablets, Rapidmelt and Disperse beads
are some of the forms available in O.D.D.
These dosage forms disperse in ten to twenty seconds in oral cavity without
water. Capricorn has developed and started manufacturing
these unique delivery systems.
Capricorn has developed five distinct orally disintegrating dosage
