TimeTech - Pioneer in NDDS

Timetech Formulations Ltd, a pioneer in new drug delivery pellets technology and various timed release formulations, makes a wide range of products that include antibiotics, antifungals, anti-allergics, anti-ulcerants and cardio protective drugs.

The pharmaceutical industry is witnessing significant progress in the novel drug delivery system (NDDS). For the manufacture of capsule dosage form, particularly for oral controlled drug release formulations, the sustained release pellets are used as a core.

Through better understanding of pharmacokinetics and low toxicity, the drug delivery has now come to be recognised as a means of optimising therapy with established drugs. Bio-availability can be enhanced by using the drug delivery systems.

Timetech Formulations Ltd of Hyderabad is a pioneer in drug delivery pellets technology and various timed release formulations. With the technology of timed release formulations, the company has established a strong presence in the competitive market.
