Little Patients, Big Challenges: Developing Pediatric Formulations



WEBINAR

Developing high-quality oral formulations specifically for children is increasingly important. For age-appropriate medicines, different physiological needs must be considered. In addition, there are high demands on patient compliance: palatability has to be addressed during the development process and optimized child-friendly dosage forms are required. To support the well being of little patients, the careful selection of excipients plays an important role.

In the webinar, you will gain insights in new requirements for the testing of high-risk components on the impurities diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol. In addition, case studies for child-friendly dosage forms will be presented.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • About the latest regulatory trends and requirements in the EU and in the USA for pediatric formulations, particularly with regards to critical impurities like ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol
  • About important aspects for the selection of suitable excipients for oral formulations
  • How to develop child-friendly orodispersible mini-tablets and films for enhanced patient adherence
