Taste Masking Polymer

One of the major challenges in pharmaceutical formulations is masking the unpleasant taste of certain drugs. Atocoat Ā®, as a taste masking polymer, ensures that the medication is palatable without compromising its efficacy. By creating a barrier around the active ingredients, it prevents the bitter taste from being released in the mouth, enhancing patient compliance.

Sustained Release Polymer

In the era of advanced drug delivery systems, sustained release formulations are becoming increasingly popular. Atocoat Ā® acts as a reliable sustained release polymer, allowing the active ingredient to be released gradually over a specified period. This ensures consistent therapeutic effects, reduces the frequency of dosage, and enhances patient convenience.

Stability and Protection

The Methacrylic acid copolymer used in Atocoat Ā® protects the active ingredients from environmental factors like moisture, light, and air. This improves the shelf life of the product and ensures that the medication remains effective throughout its intended use.

Compatibility with Various Drugs

Atocoat Ā® is compatible with a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients, making it a versatile choice for different formulations. Whether you’re developing fast-release or extended-release medications, Atocoat Ā® can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.

Easy Application

Atocoat Ā® is user-friendly and can be applied using standard coating equipment, making it a cost-effective solution for manufacturers. Its consistent performance ensures smooth coatings without defects like cracking or peeling.

Toxicity

AtocoatĀ® range is a high molecular weight polymer, it cannot be absorbed by body. Thus, it is safe for human consumption.

Test for toxicological tolerance shows that it does not have any pronounced or physiological action.
