To succeed in the market the product should appeal to the patients. The chewing gum must have a pleasant taste and texture. At Fertin Pharma we are able to develop chewing gum designed to give instant or sustained release of the active substance or even both in the same piece of chewing gum. We have the expertise in profiling the release for both lophophilic and hydrophilic susbstances. Documented release rate testing procedures - Release rate tests are conducted using an automatic chewing gum machine, specially developed by Fertin Pharma.
Taste masking - Medical substances often have a bitter taste when added to chewing gum.
During the development process we make use of sensory profiling which is compiled from the results of a professional taste panel.
