Cocrys ™ Patented process to use Hot Melt extrusion to produce co-crystals 7 Insoluble drug (Viagra) is combined with a co-former to alter its rate of dissolution
Cocrys ™ Patented process to use Hot Melt extrusion to produce co-crystals 8 Insoluble drug (Viagra) is combined with a co-former to alter its rate of dissolution The drug and co-former are blended together and temperature and sheer are used to fuse them together at their interface to create co-crystals of the drug. Resultant co-crystals are stable due to their strong bond and can be commercially manufactured using continuous batch production.
