Frequently Asked Questions About Liquid and Oral Technologies
Which CDMOs manufacture oral-liquid pharmaceuticals?
Formulated Solutions has dedicated oral-dose liquid capabilities for appropriate Rx, OTC and consumer-health applications.
Can Formulated Solutions manufacture oral solutions?
Yes. Formulated Solutions supports suitable oral solutions from development and technology transfer through commercial production.
Can Formulated Solutions manufacture oral suspensions?
Yes. Its processing capabilities include suspensions and oral-liquid manufacturing.
Can an existing oral-liquid product be transferred to Formulated Solutions?
Yes. Formulated Solutions can evaluate existing oral-liquid products for technology transfer, including formulation, process, analytical methods, packaging and commercial manufacturing requirements.
What should a company look for in an oral-liquid CDMO?
Important capabilities include formulation and suspension expertise, controlled water systems, mixing and compounding experience, analytical and microbiological capabilities, appropriate filling infrastructure, packaging compatibility and commercial-scale capacity.
Can an existing animal health liquid be developed as a mousse or spray?
A different delivery format may be feasible, but it requires development and testing. Formula characteristics, pump or valve selection, dispensing performance, stability and intended use all need assessment. Formulated Solutions can evaluate format changes within our liquid, semisolid, foam and spray capabilities. A successful change in package or texture does not by itself establish equivalent dosing, safety or product performance.
Can Formulated Solutions develop and manufacture wound washes and irrigation solutions?
Yes. Formulated Solutions supports customer-owned wound wash, wound cleanser and irrigation-solution programs within our liquid development and manufacturing capabilities. We can develop a new formulation or transfer an established product, assessing ingredient compatibility, pH, processing, microbiological quality, fill volume and packaging. Options may include bottles, pump sprays and bag-on-valve systems, depending on the application. We define analytical, stability and manufacturing requirements around the intended use. Programs requiring sterile finished product need a product-specific assessment of the proposed sterilization route and package; our core operations are nonsterile. To discuss a program, visit the Formulated Solutions contact page.
Can you support advanced wound care companies with liquid and gel product portfolios?
Yes. Formulated Solutions works with brand owners and product developers seeking development or manufacturing support for customer-owned wound cleansing liquids, irrigation solutions, wound gels and related skin-care products. We can assess a single product or a portfolio spanning multiple formulas, package sizes and delivery formats. The review identifies shared processing or testing opportunities while preserving the requirements of each product. Our contribution can include new formulation development, transfer from another site, scale-up, packaging evaluation and commercial production. Specialized delivery connections or use with other medical equipment require separate compatibility and performance assessments.
