Pediatric-Friendly Formulations

Adults take tablets and capsules for granted, but children are either unable to swallow them or find them very difficult to swallow. This leads to decreased compliance among the pediatric population.

Adare creates easy to swallow solid dosage forms that help drive acceptance & adherence in children.

Microcaps®, a patented microencapsulation process developed by Adare, results in a flexible powder that can be administered to a pediatric patient in a variety of ways: it can be administered directly into the mouth, it can be sprinkled over food, and it can be added to water.

Parvulet® is a patented oral dosage form from Adare that is initially given to patients in tablet or powder formats. But once a small amount of water is added to it at the time of dosage, it quickly converts into a semi-solid. The final dosage is a soft food-like texture that resembles applesauce, and the conversion is complete in under 30 seconds.

Even better, unlike heavy liquid or compounded formulations, the solid Paruvlet dosage form is so small (the size of a large tablet) that parents can easily carry their child’s medication with them, then transform it into an easily consumed semi-solid in under a minute.
