Characteristics of Liquid Dosage Forms
Advantages
- Liquid dosage forms allow for precise measurement and accurate dosing, ensuring the proper administration of medications.
- Liquids are readily absorbed, leading to a faster onset of action and therapeutic effects compared to solid dosage forms.
- Ease of administration via drinking water or mixed with food makes them suitable for use in a variety of animal species.
-
Some drugs exhibit improved bioavailability in liquid form.
Disadvantages
- Due to the instability problems caused by light, heat, moisture and other factors, their shelf life is usually shorter than that of solid drugs.
- Liquid preparations are inconvenient to carry, transport and store.
- Drug concentration and dispersion may be uneven, affecting the drug's effectiveness.
-
Liquid formulations administered by injection require strict control of sterility, which increases costs.

Key Steps in Our Development of Veterinary Liquid Formulations
- Improve the Solubility of APIs
Whether for injection, oral or topical use, solubility is a prerequisite to ensure the bioavailability and ideal efficacy of the drug. At CD Formulation, we use a variety of techniques to increase the solubility of APIs.
- Performed in the early stages of drug development, utilizing strategies such as salt and co-crystal formation to improve the properties of the drug substance.
- Select the most appropriate solvent for the API and add the appropriate amount of co-solvent.
- Optimize process parameters such as stirring time and temperature.
- Use nanotechnology, ultrasound or high-pressure jet-assisted technology to promote the dissolution of raw materials.
- Formulation and Process Development
When developing veterinary liquid formulations, starting from the raw materials and considering the palatability, safety and stability of the dosage form, we add the minimum and safe (without potentially harmful substances) excipients to the prescription, and rationally mix the ratio of excipients, thereby designing formulations that are high quality, low cost, and suitable for animal use.
At CD Formulation, the laboratory is equipped with various instruments and equipment required for formulation design and process development, such as MFI, Big Tuna, Stunner, HIAC, DSC, mDSC, DLS, freeze dryer, rheometer, freeze drying microscope and other advanced instruments.
