A Guide to Long-Acting Injectables and Implantables
Long-acting products, such as Long-Acting Injectables (LAIs) and implantables, have gained significant traction in recent years, revolutionizing patient treatment and medication adherence. By reducing the number of doses required, long-acting products improve patient compliance and eliminate the risk of missed doses. Moreover, they minimize toxicity and side effects, offering a more comfortable patient experience. This article delves into the numerous benefits of long-acting drug delivery systems, including their ability to harness highly potent APIs, streamline development and intellectual property protection, and provide consistent drug release over extended periods. You’ll explore their applications in various medical fields, such as CNS disorders, cancers, diabetes, substance abuse, eye diseases, HIV treatment and prevention, and contraception. Discover how Lubrizol Life Science – Health overcomes challenges in developing these innovative drug delivery systems and gain insights into successful long-acting drug development. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, researcher, or simply curious about the future of medicine, this article offers valuable knowledge and opens up new possibilities in patient care.

Mixing Technologies in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industries (Mar 2025)
March 26th 2025This white paper presents an overview of mixing technologies implemented across many of today’s highly competitive pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as new equipment designs that are increasingly being recognized as potential solutions to prevailing mixing challenges. Mixing applications falling within the broad spectrum of mass produced pharmaceutical goods and medical devices are too many and complex to discuss in detail hence this paper will touch on a few general classifications as well as a few examples within that mixing category. Phase and viscosity are used as bases for classification.
