ABSTRACT
Many traditional drugs when given orally exhibit poor and/or highly variable bioavailability and are often accompanied by significant gastro-intestinal side effects. The proprietary powder processing techniques developed by Nanotherapeutics improve the delivery of drugs that cannot normally be taken orally. Nanotherapeutics has developed new inhalation, nasal, injectable, and oral particle delivery systems that:
- Improve the safety and efficacy of low molecular weight drugs,
- Improve the stability and absorption of proteins that normally cannot be taken orally, and
- Extend the life cycle of many existing drug formulations.
