The AccuRec dual-chamber packaging system is designed to allow patients reconstitute a range of oral drug products right in the packaging container, and in a few easy steps.
The system enables storage of pre-dosed solvent and drug powder in separate chambers in a tamper-evident and child-proof package. At the time of dosing, a simple twist releases the powder into the solvent.
Bormioli Pharma business development manager Anna Malori said: “We are very excited by the potential AccuRec offers to stakeholders across healthcare, from payers to patients.
“Its simplicity, accuracy, and design make it a suitable solution for drug stability issues and an attractive option for value-added medicines.”
Bormioli Pharma said that the new easy-to-use solution maximizes drug stability in reconstituted oral medicines by eliminating the need to include excipients with the active ingredient.
Additionally, the AccuRec system helps in reducing human error by providing guided self-administration and effective mixing of pre-dosed solvent and drug powder.
Intended to improve the patient experience with easier, simplified drug reconstitution, the AccuRec design makes it useful for value-added medicines, the firm noted.
Bormioli Pharma is planning to showcase AccuRec and a range of Type I Glass containers in at the CPhI North America 2018 event to be held from 24-26 April at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia.
The company plans to roll out the AccuRec system with a drug manufacturer in the second quarter of 2018.
