PFEIFFER AT THE ICSE 2008

Friday 19. September 2008 - At the ICSE (International Contract Services Expo) from 30 September to 2 October in Frankfurt, Germany, Pfeiffer will be showing its comprehensive range of innovative dispensing solutions. These high-quality products are designed for nasal, oral and topical drug administration.

Also making its ICSE debut is a Pfeiffer concept for an ophthalmic dispensing device. This signals a new field of activity for the Pfeiffer pharmaceutical division.

The Pfeiffer Unitdose and Bidose systems are excellently equipped for the future of nasal drug application and the accelerating demand for this dispensing method. These dynamic Pfeiffer nasal spay units are market leaders for applications as diverse as anti-migraine and anti-osteoporosis products. Extensive research and development work, partnered by in-house German engineering, has enabled Pfeiffer to produce a nasal spray that is unique in its ability to protect the contents 100% until they exit the system after actuation. As a huge number of individuals turn to lifestyle drugs to impede symptoms of ageing, research indicates that the nasal route for many of these products also represents massive future growth for which Pfeiffer is well prepared.

In tune with the tough demands and new trends of the global pharmaceutical market, the open platform Cartridge system facilitates a fully metal-free path for the pumps’ contents. This makes it the ideal solution for both non-preserved and preserved solutions. The Pfeiffer Cartridge family comprises units for the nasal, oral/topical and otic routes.

The new generation Upside Down Pump from Pfeiffer offers consistently excellent performance in both upright and upside down positions, requiring a low actuation force. This unparalleled ease of use brings measurable benefits to patients of all ages for the effective application of both nasal and topical products.

The comprehensive Pfeiffer product range will be on display at the ICSE (International Contract Services Expo) from 30 September to 2 October in Frankfurt, Germany – Stand No. 41 H 69.
