How Dosage Form Decisions Shape Pediatric And Geriatric Drug Development

Age-appropriate drug development for pediatric and geriatric populations involves more than modifying adult formulations. Formulators must account for diverse subgroups, creating strategic target product profiles that address distinct requirements for palatability, packaging, and real-world administration. Success relies on comprehensive lifecycle planning to ensure patients and caregivers can reliably use the medication. Learn more.
