At Gustoceutics™, we recognise that patients’ sensory abilities, preferences, and swallowing capabilities change throughout life, particularly in children and older adults. Designing medicines that align with these age-specific needs is essential for improving adherence, safety, and therapeutic outcomes.
Paediatric Dosage Forms
Children often struggle with conventional tablets and capsules. Our team provides expert guidance on developing genuinely age-appropriate dosage forms, including liquids, chewables, and easy-to-swallow mini-tablets. These formulations are created with an emphasis on palatability, safe excipient selection, and ease of administration.
Geriatric Dosage Forms
Older adults may face challenges such as dysphagia, reduced dexterity, or altered taste perception. We support clients in selecting and designing dosage forms that maximise ease of use and acceptability, such as orally disintegrating tablets, oral films, and user-friendly packaging that simplifies self-administration.
