Hot melt extrusion

Hot melt extrusion (HME) is a core strength for us at LLS Health and we can work with you to evaluate if this process is well-suited for your product. Our team has extruded products containing the most challenging APIs, including highly potent compounds and controlled substances. HME offers many advantages for complex OSD drug development, including:

• Enhanced bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds
• Reduced production time, fewer processing steps, and continuous operation
• Compatibility with other sustained, modified, and targeted release components
