New and innovative ways of delivering a drug remains a challenge. The MetriCap Closure now makes metered dose dispensing from a tube possible. This means new drugs that require exact dosages, can be delivered from tubes. Both oral and trans-dermal drugs could benefit from this.
Oral drugs could be formulated to be compatible with edible compounds, and delivered as a gel or paste. By dispensing an exact dose from a tube, drugs for children can be made tasting and be spread on bread, or a doughnut. Even pets will find a Beeno Biscuit with a spread more appealing than a pill.
The benefits of the MetriCap Closure for trans-dermal drugs speak for themselves. It allows pharmaceutical companies to now provide a means for patients to dispense a prescribed amount of ointment from a tube.
