Apex Pharma
Pellets
Apex Pharma is a leading supplier of high-quality pharmaceutical pellets, a crucial dosage form used in the manufacturing of controlled-release and modified-release drug formulations. Pellets are small, spherical particles that are typically filled into capsules or incorporated into tablets, offering several advantages in terms of dosage flexibility, consistent release profiles, and enhanced patient compliance. They are increasingly favored for their ability to improve the bioavailability of certain drugs and provide precise, controlled drug delivery over an extended period
At Apex Pharma, we understand the importance of pellets in the pharmaceutical industry and are committed to supplying pellets that meet the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance. Our pellets are carefully sourced and manufactured to adhere to global regulatory standards, including those set by the US Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopeia (EP), and other international pharmaceutical guidelines. We ensure that each batch of pellets is subjected to rigorous testing for uniformity, consistency, and stability, ensuring they perform as expected throughout their shelf life.
Apex Pharma offers a variety of pellets designed to suit different pharmaceutical applications, including:
Immediate-release pellets – These pellets are formulated to release the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) quickly after administration, providing rapid therapeutic effects.
Controlled-release pellets – These pellets are designed to release the API at a consistent rate over an extended period, improving patient compliance by reducing the frequency of dosing.
Delayed-release pellets – These pellets release the API only after a certain period, or once they reach a specific area of the gastrointestinal tract, offering targeted therapeutic action.
Enteric-coated pellets – These pellets are coated to prevent the API from being released in the stomach, ensuring that the drug is released in the intestines, which is particularly useful for drugs that are sensitive to stomach acid or for targeting drugs to the lower gastrointestinal tract.
Our pellets are developed with careful attention to the compatibility with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, and other formulation components. This ensures that they can be used in a wide range of drug formulations, including those for chronic conditions requiring extended-release or sustained-release formulations, as well as more specialized treatments.
To support our clients, Apex Pharma also offers customized pellet solutions, tailored to specific formulation needs. We collaborate closely with pharmaceutical manufacturers to design pellets that optimize the release characteristics of their drugs and meet the regulatory requirements for their targeted markets.
With a commitment to innovation and quality, Apex Pharma’s pellets enable pharmaceutical companies to develop more effective, patient-friendly drug products that improve therapeutic outcomes. Our rigorous quality control, adherence to global standards, and focus on customer satisfaction make us a reliable partner in the supply of high-quality pharmaceutical pellets for the global market.
Pellets from Apex Pharma
High-quality pharmaceutical pellets are commonly used in drug delivery systems, offering controlled or sustained release of medication. They are typically made with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients, processed through various methods like extrusion, spheronization, or layering. Here's a list of different types of pharmaceutical pellets and examples of formulations or products commonly used in the industry:
01
Immediate Release Pellets
Characteristics: Designed for fast dissolution and rapid onset of action.
Example Products:
02
Sustained Release (SR) Pellets
Characteristics: Provide a controlled, prolonged release of the drug over time.
Example Products:
03
Controlled Release (CR) Pellets
Characteristics: Gradually release the drug at a consistent rate.
Example Products:
04
Enteric-Coated Pellets
Characteristics: Coated with materials that resist gastric acids, releasing the drug in the intestines.
Example Products:
05
Multiparticulate Formulations (MFF)
Characteristics: Consist of multiple small pellets, providing a more uniform and flexible release profile.
Example Products:
06
Matrix-Based Pellets
Characteristics: Made by encapsulating the drug in a matrix that controls the release rate
Example Products:
07
Combination Release Pellets
Characteristics: A mix of immediate release and controlled or sustained release in the same pellet.
Example Products:
08
Targeted Release Pellets
Characteristics: Designed for specific release in certain parts of the gastrointestinal tract.
Example Products:
09
Biodegradable Pellets
Characteristics: Pellets made with biodegradable polymers, used for drug delivery in specialized applications.
Example Products:
10
Coated Beads/Pellets for Taste Masking
Characteristics: Pellets are coated to mask the unpleasant taste of bitter drugs.
