Today, more than ever the modern drug company is faced with critical decisions on how to formulate its drug products. Changes in the competitive environment, stricter regulatory controls, changing patient demographics, the economics of healthcare and the nature of the drug product itself have changed the way drug companies develop, market and maintain their product portfolio.

The changes above have also led to the emergence of a very important link in the drug development chain, the drug delivery company. Drug delivery platforms facilitate the process of making drug products by offering hands on expertise and technologies that improve, change and make the formulation of active pharmaceutical ingredients into finished products that are sold to the consumer market.

Drug delivery companies take many shapes and forms and provide technologies and entities that range from the very simple to the extremely complex. Cambrex Corporation is part of this growing service provider network for the pharmaceutical industry and is proud to introduce you to its proprietary drug delivery program.
