About Drug Product Manufacturing
Drug product manufacturing transforms active pharmaceutical ingredients into the finished dosage forms patients use. This includes solid oral dosage (tablets, capsules), sterile injectables (vials, pre-filled syringes), semi-solids (creams, gels), and specialty forms (transdermal patches, inhalers, implants).
Formulation development is where science meets engineering. A CDMO's formulation team determines bioavailability, stability, and manufacturability. For poorly soluble compounds, techniques like spray drying, hot melt extrusion, and nano-milling can be the difference between a viable product and a failed program. Ask for specific experience with your compound class.
What scale do you need? Clinical-phase drug product often runs in batches of 5,000-50,000 units. Commercial scale might mean millions of units per month. Few CDMOs cover the full range efficiently. Match your current and projected volumes to a CDMO with the right equipment and batch size flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is drug product manufacturing?+
Drug product manufacturing converts APIs into final dosage forms for patients. The process includes formulation development (choosing excipients, optimizing bioavailability), process development (granulation, compression, coating, filling), analytical method development, stability testing, and scale-up to commercial volumes. It also covers packaging and labeling.
What dosage forms can drug product CDMOs produce?+
Common dosage forms include tablets (immediate-release, modified-release, orally disintegrating), capsules (hard gelatin, HPMC, softgel), sterile injectables (lyophilized, liquid), semi-solids (creams, ointments, gels), liquids (solutions, suspensions, syrups), and specialty forms (transdermal patches, inhalers, suppositories, implants). Most CDMOs specialize in 2-3 dosage forms rather than offering all.
