Pharmaceutical Performance Powered by Gattefossé

 

Gattefossé is a leading innovator and supplier of lipidic excipients and lipid based technologies for oral, topical and rectal route drug delivery.

 

 

Gattefossé lipidic excipients have been developed to improve the performance of final dosage forms, in particular, for difficult to formulate actives. Gattefossé functional excipients are applied to improve API solubility, bioavailability and to modify drug release.

 

 

Lipidic formulations offer distinct advantages over other methods of improving drug / formulation performance including certain physicochemical modifications of API (prodrug development, nanomilling etc).

 

 

Why Gattefossé?

 

Gattefossé has been developing and supplying lipidic excipients for over a century. We have a global reputation as a leading supplier of speciality excipients. Our R&D and Applications Laboratories enable us to remain at the forefront of lipidic product and formulation expertise.

 

 

Product Regulatory Status

 

Gattefossé lipid excipients are derived from vegetable origin. Their quality and safety are well documented with safety studies and / or registrations with regulatory agencies worldwide. Gattefossé is a driving force for the development of new USP/NF and EP monographs. As such our products are supported with pharmacopoeia status including USP/NF, EP, and JPE/JP, as well as other internationally recognized criteria: FDA IIG, GRAS, FDA FCC etc.
