Scientists at Cirrus have the expertise to characterize, formulate and develop water-soluble and water-insoluble drugs and have experience with a wide variety of formulations including liquids (syrups and suspensions), capsules and tablets. Services include feasibility studies to assist in dosage form selection and compatibility studies of excipients, active ingredients and delivery components. Formulation selection and optimization are aided by the extensive use of statistical experimental design.
