Advanced Oral Drug Delivery Technology: From Current Challenges to Future Opportunities

This free two-day workshop provides an opportunity to learn about EUDRAGIT® polymers and their applications in oral drug delivery.

During the first day, Evonik experts and guest speakers will introduce the EUDRAGIT® portfolio and discuss topics such as enteric delivery, sustained release, taste masking, moisture protection, cosmetic coatings, solubility enhancement, and EUDRACAP® capsules. Participants will also benefit from insights shared by industry partners and academic experts.

On the second day, participants will take part in practical demonstrations at the Rofarma laboratories, where they will gain hands-on experience with formulation and coating processes for modified-release oral dosage forms. Interactive discussions and troubleshooting sessions will provide additional opportunities to exchange experiences and ask questions.

Whether you are new to EUDRAGIT® polymers or looking to expand your existing knowledge, this workshop offers both theoretical and practical insights that can be applied to everyday formulation and development challenges.
