Second only to pills and capsules in terms
of importance, injectable drug delivery - the administration of
therapeutic drugs via injection - is an indispensable delivery method for
numerous drugs critical to patient health and well-being. But within this
segment, the sands are shifting as several factors converge to drive
demand for delivery methods that increase safety, compliance and
ease-of-use. While the economics of traditional disposable syringe devices
remain compelling, a number of companies are combining synthetic materials
and novel device designs to create devices with improved reliable and
lower cost.
Syringe designers and syringe makers must adapt their design focus from
the caregiver to the lay user to address these changes and the
opportunities they represent.
This comprehensive and timely study is
designed to provide drug
company decision makers, injectable drug delivery participants, syringe
device developers, healthcare marketers, and supply chain participants
with a detailed understanding of the economics, technologies, emerging
therapies, and risk/reward scenario for injectable drug delivery. Designed
and Written for market participants, the report contains the information
necessary to identify and understand the growing importance of injectable
drug delivery on self-administration, drug formulations, drug-device
development, and therapeutic treatment protocols.
