Zydis® Fast Dissolve Technologies - Effective Dose Forms For Pediatric Health

Patient compliance with medication is a complex problem and can be especially challenging for pediatric populations. In fact, compliance rates in children are as low as 11%, with formulation and palatability shown to be major contributing factors.¹

Zydis^® fast dissolve formulations are an effective solution through extremely rapid dispersion in the mouth and the smooth, pleasant taste. Patient acceptance of Zydis^® formulations is especially high in pediatric populations, demonstrated by 50% of medications currently formulated in Zydis^® Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT) being specifically indicated for use with children.
