DUAL® Technology
Under patent registration
Taste Masking (TM)
Ensures greater treatment adherence and user compliance by masking the taste and odor of unpleasant ingredients.
Gastric Protection (GP)
Provides gastric protection to minimize gastric wall sensitization and ensures active ingredients are delivered intact through the gastric tract to the intestine.
Free Flowing (FF)
Enhances product flowability in processing lines, significantly reducing the risk of caking and lump formation.
Timed Release (TR)
Utilizes advanced technology to achieve controlled, prolonged release, ensuring enhanced availability, absorption, and effectiveness of the product.
Improved Availability (IB)
Enhances product availability by ensuring uniform and rapid distribution along the gastro-enteric tract, maximizing active ingredient absorption.

DUAL® Technology
Recently, there has been notable interest in a novel formulation combining active ingredients for both immediate and sustained release, aiming to create a final product that delivers rapid onset with prolonged effects.
Such a dual mode of release has been achieved by IPS.
This technology allows the production of mini-particles, of dimensions measurable in a few hundred microns (thousands of a millimeter), each one formed by one or more active ingredients, with an initial fast release of a certain quantity of the total dose (i.e. 50%), followed by a slow release, still from the same particle, of the remaining dose.
In other words, the mini-particles are mini-devices at the same time releasing their content, both in the case of a single active ingredient and of more ingredients, at different times and pre-defined speeds.
The entirety of the mini-particles forms an actual fine granulate which can be utilized as a basic product for obtaining final forms of administration, with the desired characteristics of release, such as tablets, capsules, single dose sachets also oro-soluble, extemporary suspensions, single dose bottles with metering cap.
