Reed Pacific’s micro-encapsulation technology offers huge advancements in controlled drug delivery. Active ingredients are encapsulated in order to maintain their integrity and minimise side-effects before reaching their targeted site.

Microparticles offer significant advantages as drug delivery systems, including:

(i) Effective protection of the encapsulated active agent against degradation
(ii) Phased & controlled delivery over a tailored period of time
(iii) Alternative administration techniques
(iv) Pre-programmed drug release profiles can be provided which match the therapeutic needs of the patient. *

For example, a drug given orally to treat the lower gastrointestinal tract may be harmful to the stomach. With a microcapsule coating, the stomach can be protected with the active ingredient not being released until reaching its target.
