According to John Fitzpatrick, New Business Development and Technical Support Director, EMEA Region ISP has information to share about excipients that will be helpful to formulators of oral solid dosage forms. “ISP has conducted a great deal of research on its excipient and coating technologies over the years, and from that research, we have learned how these technologies work well in oral solid dosage forms,” he said. “At the technical seminar in Karachi, we will explain the applications of our technologies and offer formulation scientists helpful tips on how to utilize ISP excipients in immediate release and modified release products.”
