Abundant experiences in developing drugs

All of the ingredients including adhesive bases, absorption promoters and additives of our products have already been employed for medical products in Japan and Western countries. The research and development time is shortened to a minimum owing to our abundant experiences in developing drugs.

Examples of Developed Drugs
  • 1T101 patch type drug we developed was approved in March 2006 in Japan.
  • 2A patch type drug produced with the hydrophilic adhesive base we developed was approved in Japan.
  • 3F201 patch type antiphlogistic analgetic we developed was approved for clinical trials by the Chinese government in 2008.

Medical Microneedles

Materials for microneedles can be selected and their dimension can be designed according to use. We provide entrusted research services from a small-scale trial production to development of formulations.
