The policy of ‘start low, go slow’ is key to patient management when prescribing analgesics, anti-inflammatories, antidepressants, and many other drug classes. Simply put the ability to titrate to effect, balancing adverse events with efficacy, is crucial: first do no harm. Until now to achieve such control with extended release tablets required multiple tablets of increasing dosage strength – a process both expensive and prone to errors from all concerned. Should patients break extended release tablets, for example, over-exposure or ‘dose dumping’ would occur.
Altus’ patented FLEXITAB technology safely eliminates the need for multiple tablets enabling for the first time scored extended release tablets that may be broken into multiple pieces each part with same performance as the intact tablet; FLEXITAB tablets don’t dose dump. With FLEXITAB patients may be titrated simply from just one tablet in a cost-effective and safe manner.
