Benefits of technology

This patented method for making an oral solid dosage medicine called nifedopidium allows it to be released slowly over time without being absorbed into blood vessels like stomachs. It achieves this through adding gelatin agents based on normal soft capsular materials that contain other ingredients such as polysaccharides (polymers) and sugars.

Problems solved by technology

Technologies for developing new medicines called nitrendipide that specifically target certain areas involved in cell death processes during stroke/ischemia were described earlier in previous researchers' publications. However, these existing methods had drawbacks like potential side effects due to their high concentration required for effective treatment. To address those issues, some companies proposed different ways to deliver them through controlled release systems.
